SocialMedia is part of your daily diet - so why not make it healthy?

Corporate platforms feed you ads, algorithms, and infinite scroll designed to keep you hooked on junk food. The #Fediverse is different:

✅ No ads, no algorithms ✅ Real communities run by real people ✅ Diverse cultures and positive content

Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic!

Yes. You don't actually get to explore other cultures, you just get a bastardized, commodified version of it. The commodification of cultures for global dissemination is destroying unique cultures around the globe. It's a massive humanitarian crisis, but it gets a free pass in the eyes of the western public because they get to eat tasty food and make pithy comments online directed towards people they hate. Xenophilia is a cancer.

High quality positive content

It took 3 hours and we already got to gatekeeping culture.

Believe it or not, some people actually like having more than a single mono-culture in the world. Everybody everywhere doesn't actually want Lego and the Marvel Universe to dominate their own societies.

I recognize that issue but I don't need necessarily read the example on OP, as exemplifying that.

Disclaimer: I'm a white North American (ergo no culture) so I'm open to discussing this further as I'd like to hear your experience.
