In theory the Fediverse, including Mastodon, sidesteps at least the algo and ads portion of the motivation for the bad behaviour elsewhere, and it does seem like a reasonable place.
- jdthedisciple 3y agoWhy do I get the impression that it's so politicised though? I don't have any political affiliations and I don't care about any of that stuff anymore. Frankly there are too many retards on all sides of the spectrum. Just more poison. Where's the wholesomeness.
- ColinWright 3y agoChoose the right instance. Choose any instance, follow a whole bunch of people, block a whole bunch of other people, see where the interesting people are, migrate your account. There's almost no politics on my instance.
- DamonHD 3y agoI'm on two instances: the largest one and a specialist energy-related one, and neither has much nastiness going on, at least that I see. There is some politics, but from people that I have chosen to follow. So if I get bored of the (mainly US) stuff, I can just unfollow or mute. I've blocked about 2 accounts so far. And even those weren't too bad.
