@Cyborgneticz @soft when asked how it differs from the fediverse they said they have "a bunch of friends who have had to pull up stakes on the fediverse and recreate on other instances because there was mod beef involving their instance that got it defederated so suddenly they were completely invisible to anyone who didn't follow them"

so instead they made their own platform where they three control everything, without federation at all (and there's various other weird design and organizational things)
