Looks great as an experimental platform. Unlike big social networks, it's a niche where things can still be tried, different choices made, both on the technology and organisation side. Technology - having the server instance moved to the user's side, throws some decisions - for better and or worse - back in the user's court. Interesting consequence - user can move that data and the social graph from one server to another. Like porting a mobile telephone number from one mobile network to the other. Number porting was not possible on the mobile networks to start with - now we all have it, don't think it strange. Fediverse with group(s) of servers decididing whether to federate other server(s) or not - also has interesting consequences Re: organisation of large social network(s). And so on. I find the experience refreshing. One gets to see and interact with the people making decisions - unlike TW or FB, they are not faceless. The root on my instance already mentioned "I'm not comfortable moderating all these new people's social".
