Facebook is less than 5% down from its all time high.
Separately, if I'm understanding Mastodon right then it's worse than centralization. In my experience, admins and moderators of smaller communities (subreddits and Discord channels) are substantially worse than centralized rule enforcement.
People get banned from subreddits without even posting in them. Massive censorship is common as well. For example, during the Pulse nightclub shooting the news was totally absent on reddit's frontpage due to widescale censorship in multiple major subreddits. It was prominent on both Twitter and Facebook though.
- Proven 6y agoI have no doubts that on average admins and mods are worse. But that's on average. There are many instances and you can have your own. Non-banned users can't amplify message like they could on Twitter, but they can't be silenced either.
- sp332 6y agoit's worse than centralization Since anyone can just stand up their own instance and post whatever they want, it's significantly more censorship-resistant than a centralized service.

You don't like the mod policies of a centralized platform, you're off the platform entirely. You can view the vast majority of the Fediverse feed, including poorly-peered domains by being on 2 or 3 instances.
