Traditional social media

  • Not Decentralized
    • Can't choose your own rules, sorting methods, data queries, etc.
  • Overrun by scams and ads and influencers

Federated Social Media

  • Partially Decentralized
    • Self hosting is too hard for everyone to do
    • Still subject to instance's moderation, limitations, etc.
  • Users need to pick an instance, associating their identity with one specific group
    • People belong to many groups
    • The person is permanently associated with that one group
    • You have to pick before getting a "trial period" to ensure you actually like that group/instance
