Fediverse

The trolls and fascists do not exist on Twitter to hang out with other trolls and fascists. They're there hunting for liberal tears. When their prey leaves, they follow.

Bluekky has been open about not moderating their platform. They've provided users tools to not see the shit they're letting through the door -- which, yes, is currently better than Twitter, where the current ownership believes that 'free speech' is deserving of a captive audience -- but if the bsky algorithm thinks you have something -- anything, really -- in common with the Nazis, they'll get shunted into your timeline, leaving you to play wack-a-mole.

I had the same experience. I rarely see any toxic shit on Mastodon compared to what I kept seeing on BlueSky, even after using custom feeds.

It has more people thus a more proportional selection of the population. Hence ur specific echo chamber will be challenged.

I haven't really seen any toxicity on there yet, and I'd wager both are less toxic than here regardless.

All I saw were furries and dicks, and no way to filter them other than blocking all 18+ posts. And apparently everyone and their mother is a findom expert there, or just abusive in nature. Luckily I still don't understand those type of self centered narcissistic social media platforms and what to do on them.

Every social media is collective of thousands of social bubbles.

While I advocating for federated SNS, I personally rarely encounter any toxicity on internet except when I interact with westerner (especially Americans). I carefully choose who I follow and interact, and the algorithm are trained with my interaction to put content that not toxic and relevant to me.

On fediverse alone, I have multiple account that delivers entirely different social experience. My English mastodon.social account that just slightly touch Western politics are thousands times toxic. Even my personal regional political discourse feed on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook are not as toxic as Western politics on fediverse.

Why the heck isn't he hosting his own Mastodon instance?
