Are you wondering why this place is on so many servers?
There are really important reasons for this, to do with user safety, sustainability, and empowerment of users and grassroots communities. You can read all the reasons here:
On a centralised network like Twitter etc, if owners turn bad, users are stuck there, powerless to do anything. Owners can get away with terrible things.
On decentralised networks, users have real power, and bad owners suffer consequences.

This was what was so great with IRC back in the day when that medium was popular. If the mods on your chatroom ("Channel") abused their power, you moved to another channel or started your own. If the admins of your server/network abused their power or were negligent, you moved servers/networks or opened your own. I miss those days.
