I made a post over on Upscrolled recommending people check out the Fediverse:

It was kind of a random thought, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
Upscrolled is a newer, strongly pro-Palestine/Leftist platform, and a lot of the users there already care about decentralization, censorship resistance, and not relying on big corporate platforms.
That feels very aligned with what the Fediverse is about.
Since it’s still growing, I’d imagine a lot of users there might be open to trying alternatives like Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, Loops, etc.
Especially if it’s framed less as “leave your platform” and more as “here’s a broader network you can also be part of.”
I was also curious if anyone else here was interested in recommending the Fediverse over there, as well.
Not in a spammy way, obviously — just sharing info and letting people know there are decentralized options that line up with their values.
Curious what others think.
