Stubborn holdouts of the increasingly off-putting Twitter/X and Reddit commonly point out how their open source alternatives don't really offer any cool new features.
You know what will never happen? Twitter and Reddit being in direct, seamless interaction with one another. With groups FEP-1b12, #mastodon #Lemmy & friends are at the precipice of a brand new social networking experience defined by app symbiosis.
Friendship is the “killer feature” of the #fediverse! 
@erlend prevention of monopolies is also a pretty cool feature of the fediverse, instead of hoarding users and content for a single billionaire business
@erlend Interoperability was a big promise of the Web 2.0, supposedly APIs were supposed to allow that. It took more than a decade, but we're finally seeing that promise fulfilled there!
Now, about accessing Mastodon data from Lemmy… 
Mhm I don't know, privacy, portability and not a single megacorp that holds the social interactions hostages seem like very cool features to me.
@macniel agreed! Sadly it appears a lot of people don’t understand features they cannot see and use in the moment, but rather have to imagine a time in the future when they’d become priceless.
