I think it was a good alternative, but it not being federated nor able to create communities makes it a bit lame. I really liked it, but it’s hard to find interesting use for it when it doesn’t let you have the spaces or topics that you want to cover other than the already defined ones.
If you use a private website for your social media we just loop back to where we are right now in a few years. Even if it seems great now there will eventually be enshittification.

Yeah the lack of federation is a deal breaker for me. Nothing stopping it from going the way of reddit.
It is a shame that this is now a reason on the table to avoid sites like this.
When someone asks me if I’m on facebook, I can say I’m on The Federation, has a nice ring to it
Good tip, sounds better than Fediverse to be honest.
