I run a small 2 person family pleroma instance. I truly believe fediverse to be the best thing to happen to internet in a long time because just like in my case, I can have my own server with anyone I like. We don't need to serve 1000 people of different tastes, if I am content with people I am comfortable, why do I need to be exposed like on a public platform like twitter? Or Facebook which monetizes this same interaction for what benefit of mine? I am getting the same/similar interaction with people I care about, on my own dime.
