My pick would be, dealing with the ‘wild west’ atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

    But are “most people” on Fedi?

    As an autistic person, all of the normal people are weird (to me).

    I wonder if Fedi still has that perceived barrier to entry (even thought it’s not that hard) so the normies aren’t here here, and that it’s not “the popular thing that everyone does by default” yet so the people are here because they want to be.

    I think Fedi feels kind of like the wild west early days, in a nice way.

      That wasn’t the question. The question was about how the internet is different, not the fediverse.
