Here is some feed back from my friend who is a social media user. I asked him if he found this appealing he said no because he wants less social media.

I think the landlord part is a huge slopulism redflag. landlords have nothing to do with a social media platform bringing up that there is 0 here is dumb

I think there should be a sell that isnt negative. The fediverse isnt good because its less shitty. Its good because its actually cool in a lot of unique ways. Those unique ways are hard to sell easily but in my opinion the sell should be something positively cool about the fediverse. Personally I like the instance concept I think its what makes this place so great. To my friends I just say its a shared feed not controlled by any one entitiy.

I don’t really feel like the landlord part is true on principle, either? Isn’t the landlord technically the person who runs the server you use? Granted, they’re not managing billions of accounts like Meta and the like, but it doesn’t strike me as an accurate analogy
