Yep. I also didn’t think this would work as well as it does. Remarkably good platform so far.
I’d heard of the fediverse too, and I liked the idea of decentralised social media.
But it was way down on my list of “things I guess I should learn about but don’t have time for.”
Reddit blackout gave me both motive and opportunity to learn, and I’ve never looked back.
