The fediverse is the network of federated decentralized social media using activitypub to connect. Lemmy (the software on which chapo.chat is based) will be in some months part of this network.

What do you think about fediverse ? Are some of you using Mastodon as a twitter replacement ?

    The Fediverse is dominated by leftists, so yes. Other instances can decide for themselves whether they wish to federate with us. If they do, great, we'll be a source of constant amusement for them and more liberal instances might have their users radicalize. If not, oh well, we don't want to federate with reactionary instances anyways.

    It also means we can have dedicated instances for particular tendencies so people can have their own ideological breathing room, people who dislike the rules here can have their own space without splitting the userbase, et cetera.

          Yeah they went federated and got immediately blocked by nearly every single instance. They got fucked so hard they went back to their little troll hole for good. I also think I remember them having a big fight with the only other instance that allowed federation by them that resulted in them blocking each other but I cannot back that up right now.
