2) A lot has been said about freedom of speech on online platforms. There's always a tension between freedom and moderation. The fediverse solves this, by allowing each server to have its own rules. Do you want to feel safe? There's a server for that. Do you want to have unlimited freedom? There's a server for that. In general accounts can see messages across servers. Be ware, that moderators of your servers, according to its rules, can block certain content or whole servers. If you don't like it, you can always migrate your account to another server with different rules.

I’ve been asked on TV hits and interviews lately to explain why decentralized social media is better, especially re: Mastodon. -

1) The goal of any company is to make money. Baking bread or providing digital platforms are different means of achieveing it. They all have a product and customers. In case of twitter or facebook, the customers are advertisers and the product is time users spend on their platforms. So in order to maximize their profits, they use algorithms, that maximize the users engagement. It doesn't matter if it's more funny cat videos or more fake news and extremist propaganda, whatever gets you engaged, will get amplified. The fediverse does not do that.
