Lately I am trying to convince more and more people to join the fediverse and stop using facebook, instagram etc. One thing I find difficult is the following: If someone is not techsavy and (as bad as that sounds) doesn't care about privacy, which benefits do they get by joining the fediverse?

What are you convincing points for that?

@matrix @MrChainman

There is lack of discussion I feel it's more like dump. Where you keep throwing your shitty post.
Either people talking about privacy or code.

@matrix @MrChainman

In Comparison to traditional social media atleats there is some interaction with other. Here it's none

@inditoot @MrChainman I don't think so, but I guess some do see it that way. I guess the discovery is worse due to the decentralization.

@inditoot @matrix
Don't you think that depends also on the instance? I mean on mastodon.social people seem very interactive

@inditoot @matrix
But isn't it good that you don't have those "meaningless" conversations like "OMG, i just ate something" ?
I mean that's what I like about the fediverse.

@MrChainman

That is eco chamber actually. It's not Good and I always prefer logical conversation.

one of the reason mastodon can never be part of mainstream social media.

@matrix

@inditoot
But if you have theese thought "against" Mastodon, why are you using it?

@MrChainman

It's a big story 😅 Main reason I am still here for No ads and Privacy.
And other implementation of activity pub doesn't have nice looking UI
