      Mastodon is still federated and while there are going to be some instances run by bad actors the majority of them aren’t as bad. From what I understand at least mastodon.social is defederated with the bad instances anyway so we can’t interact with each other but I may be wrong I’m kind of new to this type of platform

        The question my opponents seem to miss is the fact that in order for fascism die, these instances need to be Kirked, not ignored. Making it unfeasible for truthsocial, poast, and the pedoverse to exist is the point my downvoters seem to disconnect.

      By that logic every website on the Internet is fascist because someone set up a website about fascism somewhere.

      Fascists can set up an instance, sure. The difference is that that’s one instance among many. The worst fediverse instances aren’t federated with anybody because the entire instance has been blocked by virtually every other instance.

      IMO that’s much better than even the best monolithic social media site. A monolithic site has to have a set of rules that applies for everyone. You can add your own additional blocks, but you can’t unblock things that the monolithic site has decided should be blocked.

        Those monolith sites have government hooks in them to manipulate those rules so they are not applied equally.

        It was bad before 2020, now it is a joke. They find other things to violate you on for israel comments for instance. Things not against the rules or a real stretch to claim so.

          “Government hooks”? Please.

          This is just trying to play nice with investors and/or advertisers.

            I said government for brevity, the super rich and corporations control the government and they both have their hooks in. The lawmakers have been threatening to jam them up in multiple ways if they do not cave to pressure which they have. Such as agency sending lists of accounts to ban for unrelated reasons. Or allowing some allies of the politicians too get a pass on moderation while taking a hard line against other voices online. Or allowing connected influence operations free reign.

                Hardly, government and powerful industries have their hooks in social media.

                You disagree you do not provide a single counter argument as to why it’s wrong, which it obviously is not.

                    Believe what you want, it is not my job to convert random trolls that cannot be bothered to explain why they disagree with something., anyone saying you’re wrong without actually making any points as to why is a troll. And not a very good one.
