"I like that there's no influencers/clout chasers/celebrities on the fediverse"
Ok, but you do realize you're saying you like that people can't make a living here, right? That what happens here can't affect the larger world. That the big closed networks will never be supplanted by this one. You get that, right?
I mean, this is a communication tool. We're communicating with each other. It's such a small understanding of what that means if it's not to influence the world we live in.
And, frankly, it's entitled to insist that everyone else should abide by that narrow sensibility.
