I mean, we've seen an uptick in users of various websites turning to decentralized platforms/protocols lately, hopefully more people continue to join us on Mastodon, Lemmy, IPFS, ZeroNet, etc. I've been espousing the benefits of getting away from centralized authorities online for over a decade now, so it's somewhat relieving to see others getting a glimpse of why
Many Lemmy communities are currently at an acceptable point for a decent amount of user interaction. This is what has made me switch, and even though I knew federated socials for an option for years I didn't really feel like it was worth switching until now. Clearly, thousands of other people agree with me, and I think this trend will continue for the more techy and aware people in these communities. I'm definitely good with just having those people in these communities, but at the same time I really don't want the internet to get even worse for your average Joe, which currently... it still is.
