My personal opinion is that it was:
- Easier signup
- A wider variety of opinions… Fediverse imo is known for tankies and progressives. I’m a progressive so I’m OK w/ the latter, but it can be an echo chamber at times.
- Built-in audiences (Threads especially but also Jack founding a spinoff helps)
- Similar to Linux, one of the benefits to open-source is plenty of forks and standards. This leads to a more fractured landscape at times and so it’s rockier than the alternatives
So would you prefer the capital tax rate is lower or that CNN didn’t report it?
As someone voting for Dems, I’m still confused why progressive policies are becoming more moderate
