Well I'm really glad that that trusted circle of instances exists, I don't want anti-Semitism or racism in my timeline. So far octodon.social has been a step up from twitter for me, because it isn't designed to monetize outrage. The model where admins have to police their community or risk being de-federated with the mainstream means that an instance is limited to the scale they can effectively moderate, which is exactly where other social media platforms break for me.
- nzyat 6y agoSo basically Mastodon is moderated in exactly the same way as Twitter, with the same set of rules. How is Mastodon more interesting than Twitter then?
- kixiQu 6y agothe only way you can imagine something like Twitter being more interesting is more content Twitter prohibits? it's more interesting because the UX encourages different styles of posting (no QRTs for dunks, for one) that people are developing into slightly different social idioms. also no ads, chrono timeline, pick your own image crops...
