    I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it’s literally all conspiracy theories, but that’s not true, there’s also some “sponsored” posts AKA ads sprinkled in.

    What a sad joke.

    If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same “free speech” benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.

    Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that’s probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim “we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!” does make a great dogwhistle for “you can be a terrible human on here, don’t worry”
