Pros:

• FOSS Everywhere

• So far, no brigading by salty nationalists

• So far, excellent moderation on most communities

• Better UI experience

• It’s actually fun to engage in many communities here in all types of conversation and media formats

• Plenty of federated instances to choose from

Cons:

• Specific communities are small or nonexistent

• Not enough user generated content per day that you can waste time on (Maybe this is a good thing lol)

• Instance switching is still a bit of a pain because I am lazy

• Web UI is okay, nothing too special. Including some alternative frontends

• Instance federation is like proto p2p. It’s not easily scalable, so it can’t automatically react to sudden demand or attention.
