Only things going for it is that it’s open source and auditable.
It’s venture capitalist funding is a hard no from me though. Same reason I stuck with mastodon vs Bluesky.
And it has been audited by an independent auditor. And it doesn’t have user ID’s. And you can have multiple accounts with no effort. And you can selfhost your own servers. And it’s actively developed. And it’s available on all major platforms. And the list of pros goes on.
