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 ?

There is 2 points in federation. 1. No central authority controlling what you can and cannot post. If you don't like the rule, go to another website in the federation or make your own. 2. It lowers the critical mass necessary on each website to be able to survive.
It would also allow other users to post here, and us to post in other places. It'd allow more potential users to be drawn to the site, since if they see people tagged as @thomasdankara with chapo.chat at the end, other users might come check us out.
Worst case, it'd let us crosspost from other communities to shit on people.
