==== Downsides ==== | |||
Compared to traditional social media there are also some downsides: | |||
* The Fediverse has a much smaller user base than other platforms, so if you're primarily looking for a wide audience then it might not be for you. | |||
* Not all Fediverse projects are at the same stage of development and some important functions one projects has, the other might still be missing. | |||
* Fediverse projects and instances are run by volunteers with not a lot of money behind them. Worst case: A project might no longer be maintained or an instance might close. | |||
* There are some instances that allow hate-speech, fake news or worse. Make sure you don't end up on one of them. | |||
