ruben's opinionated fediverse guide!

personally, not a fan of mastodon. and it's a shame that it's really the only known piece of fediverse software to the point where people only know what a "mastodon" is and nothing else.

this is why this guide is "opinionated", because i really dislike how the fediverse is currently expanding, and in my opinion is all being caused by mastodon being the "number one" and being able to get random corpos and projects to come in and ruin our safe spaces.

so i made this guide with the goal of properly showing other softwares that may be better than mastodon to other people, and making an attempt to teach that it's really not just "mastodon" and there are choices out there, whatever feels more comfortable to use!

of course, i'll still keep mastodon in this guide, as it is what most instances run.

again, if anyone has questions, opinions, or how i could improve this (or to say if it helped!),

• Join the fediverse! is a good website that quickly and easily explains what and how the fediverse works, and a quick guide of each available software.

• Furry Fediverse is a website that briefly explains the fediverse, and contains a bunch of known furry instances to join, with a button to quickly jump into one without much effort! also showcases other neat tools.
