  The fediverse is more like the evolution of those old school forums, but diversified into more than just forums. Decentralized, user ran shit that could be a forum, a microblog, a YouTube alternative, an image host, etc. And then they could possibly share content with each other directly.

    My only experience with the fediverse so far is Lemmy and I can understand why some forum users might not want to change to it. Too much censorship, too many bots, less continuity of the user base, etc.

  The main difference is that the Fediverse content and knowledge is accessible for everyone, as opposed to Reddit and Discord
