MODERATORS
 

I want to write an article that answers the question ‘Why should YOU join the Fediverse?’, which would basically be an exhaustive list of arguments for joining the Fediverse, each argument linked (LINKS PLEASE!) to an article/publication that illustrates it. I'll translate it into several languages.

Can you help me?

The centralized social media have demonstrated again and again that content moderation at scale can never work well the way they do it. They are a menace to society. The problem isn't that Elon Musk is the wrong person to decide how a billion people should be allowed to talk to each other and which of their voices should be amplified, it's that nobody should ever have that power.

A diverse network of smaller instances where each is free to take its own approach is the future of social media, if it has a future.
