Thank You, BotM! I migrated here from the corporate social medias as soon as I was aware. I’m still transferring my OC over from IG (not an easy task) to Pixelfed. And I use similar talking points to inform people, often about the very existence of a non-comercial social media. Very few people, maybe 2, since July '23 have even heard of the Fediverse. We shall persist!
I signed on to https://social.photo/. And I’m sure I had darned good reasons for doing so at the time. LoL With federation, I’m not really sure it matters which instance one signs onto, as long as it’s not some tankie/nazi crap, of course. And of course one could self host one’s own instance.
It appears to me that, because of the absence of advertising, it is incumbent upon individuals to ‘evangelize’ and spread the fedi-gospel. :-D

I’m just learning about Pixelfed from your comment. Any suggestions on where to start or instances to subscribe to?

I truly believe the fediverse is the future. People will tire of the AI and all that nonsense and fade away from all the big sites.
