Before the whole Reddit migration I was passively aware of the Fediverse, I thought I somewhat grasped the concept, and had created a Mastodon account, but never really used it.
But once the migration started, I decided to try out Kbin, and really liked it, and even started to use Mastodon more often.

To be honest, I thought it was stupid. I misunderstood how it works and I thought it was overcomplicating the idea of decentralised instances

Ah, that's fair. Do you think you've changed your mind on it, or do you believe that it's sort of a con of these platforms?

I've changed my mind, but I do think that the concept is somewhat difficult to grasp
