I doubt they are that different, so this should not be a shock to an existing member of the Meta ecosphere. it would be ideal however if those who are not already part of Meta’s userbase saw this and just decided not to join.

Yeah, I've been trying to get away from Meta for a while. It's difficult because of my job and the fact that I live far away from family. Been getting a few people here and there to make the Fediverse switch; the lack of an abusive algorithm, ads, and data mining have been the selling points for them. Gonna check out Friendica this weekend, but I dunno. Might just stick to Mastodon and Lemmy for now.
