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 ?
If you don't care to socialize beyond reactions to content, then yes, identity doesn't matter. I like the idea of creating and fostering relationships between people though.
