The fediverse is more like the evolution of those old school forums, but diversified into more than just forums. Decentralized, user ran shit that could be a forum, a microblog, a YouTube alternative, a Discord/IRC alternative, an image host, etc. And then they could possibly share content with each other directly, but that's kinda up to the individual app/site.

My only experience with the fediverse so far is Lemmy and I can understand why some forum users might not want to change to it. Too much censorship, too many bots, less continuity of the user base, etc.
