I'm happy to see new canadian social media like https://ehnow.ca/ and https://hey.cafe #canada

But so far, I still think #activitypub #mastodon and the #fediverse are the superior options.

Mostly because it's #decentralized and #federated

But most non-tech (normal) people don't understand those concepts.

They don't wanna deal with the fediverse because the learning curve is too high and they simply don't understand.

They just want something simple and that works.
