Fediverse for May topic

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Hi Went to what I think is the "main" website and it said:

Fediverse social network differs from mainstream platforms (Facebook, 
Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc). Mainstream platforms concentrate 
millions of users on one website, where they control all the 
decision-making, enforce censorship, and hoard users' data for 
commercial profit and spying. Fediverse platforms, on the other hand, 
are developed by a community of people from all over the world, 
independent from any company or official institution. You are free to 
register on any Fediverse website you like. You can choose the person 
who will be in charge of your data - the administrator of your server. 
If you have technical knowledge, you can administrate your own server 
for your friends and family, connecting with thousands of other 
independent servers across the web. Fediverse is an autonomous universe 
where power and data are decentralized and scattered across multiple 
lands.


So how is Fediverse used?  I am not active on any Social Media.... how 
do I leverage this service?

Thanks!!
Keith
