I really appreciate your enthusiasm brother, and I've been saying the fediverse needs more Soul for a while, when the Hood learns about the fediverse, that they can control their own social media and don't have to worry about corporate censorship, it's over with.

Alot of people get caught up on negatives, and yeah there are problems, technically and culturally, but nothing that can't be worked through. people will learn and adapt. And decentralized open source networks open up so many possibilities in terms of community building or cultural renewal that we've barely scratched the surface of.

Jitsi is based on Jabber, which is a decentralized messaging platform, most Jabber servers have video and audio calls built in.

Friendica is dope, especially because it's on both the ActivityPub and Diaspora network, the interface is kinda clunky tho and a lot of people don't like it for that reason, personally I'm on the Misskey variants, this one is IceShrimp and my main alt is Sharkey, both have been modern and fun interfaces.

That is i a barrier to a lot of people is just picking a platform or finding an instance they can vibe with, but for most people Mastodon is just fine to get started
