-The gimmick is that all sites on the fediverse can communicate with each other.  Like what if Twitter users could reply to Tumblr posts, and share posts from Instagram?  A lot of the fediverse sites are based on Twitter-like interfaces. Since most sites on the fediverse are owned by regular people, it is a neat alternative to corporate-owned social media with its own pros and cons.+**LIKE TWITTER**: Most fedi servers are basically the same format as twitter.  You log in, you post text and images, and you talk to your friends.  That's it.  Despite its reputation, you do not need to know any tech shit or coding shit to use fedi shit.

 +**LIKE DISCORD:** Each server may have its own theme, depending on who owns the server.  Some servers may be huge like 10k people.  Some may be smaller, with only 10 people.  Different servers are good for different things.  You may want to hang out in different servers or leave them if you don't like the people.

 +I try to choose mostly LGBTQ-friendly servers, that won't be too shocked by weird art, and have proactive moderation against racism, sexism, anti semitism, and other forms of bigotry.  I will attempt to note when a server is popular, but doesn't have proactive moderation.
