Hacker News

I liked the writing and agree with the general reasons, but this is going a tad bit too far:

Instead it [the fediverse] became the only place consistently posting trustworthy information I could actually access.

There's no reason to think things are more trustworthy or less biased here than on commercial social media. The fact that people here are not trying to build a brand because there's no money to make in this small network is not enough to make it more trustworthy.
It may make conversations more genuine, but that's not a guarantee for correctness either.
