It's a lot like Twitter, except: 1) it provides actual useful controls for content warnings, alt text, blocking, and other human-friendly features; 2) it's federated, so you can have a separate server for your group and manage invites and access to other servers on a per-user and per-server basis, which is also good for being a human; 3) as a decentralized platform, it's not owned by a racist blood-emerald multibillionaire -- also good for respecting humanity.
