I’ve created my account barely a week ago, and already l’d made nearly 200 posts. Had it been Mastodon, this number isn’t a big deal. But while on piefed, this is pretty lot considering the overall span of time.

Now, the fediverse is not like the ordinary facebook or twitter. There, the posts are restricted to the platform you are using. Irrespective of how many people view your post.

But fediverse is a different ball game altogether. Here, you don’t know how many have viewed your post, unless they vote on it. Here, there’s also negative voting, and that might shake up your morales. While it’s a fact that any given platform of the fediverse has negligible users compared to social media like Facebook and Twitter.

But the danger lies elsewhere. Here, you don’t even know where your posts are reaching. And it’s very difficult to form an idea about your audience.

The only way out is post with a great deal of responsibility. If there’s the slightest error on your part, it doesn’t take much time to reach you as feedback.

Your take on the matter please ??😊😊😊

      Yup! It’s built off a collection of federated instances. Mean each instance is distinct, but still operates as part of a whole.

      It’s not a monolithic platform like Reddit or Facebook that is controlled by a single entity.

        (they were hinting at feds as in federal agencies, often used as a proxy for govts and 3 letter agencies, police forces, etc)
