Also much looser rules as well; sex workers, for instance, have a lot more freedoms to post their content in a lot of the Fediverse. Different instances have different rules.

Plenty of problems are solved. They may not be ones you care about, but they're not "really none". Anecdotally, the instances I know of take a much harder line on moderation of transphobic content than does mainstream socia
