@thedisciple I'd choose #Mastodon. Because:
- it's open, anyone can see all posts, without having to log in.
- it is decentralised. No one will ever own all of it. I could host my own. I could host yours.
- ppl are more interested in each other.
- there is a lot more alternative culture going on.
- there is more interaction. More trust. More equality.
- It's a lot less corporate.

I wrote a post about us, the Internet people. All of our hacky piratey DIY fixing and code snippet *borrowing*. I'm an ex muso and I think a lot of us from that early gen x generation did the tech pivot from the mid 90s on so we all built the Internet, it's ours. The Fediverse is so much a part of that alt culture, and so much a part of where at least some of the Internet future is headed.
