Why should someone join the Fediverse? (lemmy.cat)

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?

If you use Reddit, but don't like the direction it's going, (more extractive, less user control) Lemmy is a good alternative. Same thing for Instagram or Twitter, pixelfed or mastodon are good alternatives for those. And they have the advantage that it's harder to make them universally worse in the future, since the infrastructure is more distributed.
