Well what's the point of it then, given that Mastodon already exists and we already know that no one wants to use it because of this bullshit?

Pretty much Mastodon, then. Heaps of instances run by/for LGBTQ+ folks, some general, some specific, and the ones not strictly aimed at that all seem to be trans friendly (or else they get defederated). I've seen a joke that most people on Mastodon are either trans, furries, queer, computer nerds, or some combination of those things, which sure seems to be the case. Maybe https://tech.lgbt? Though it's simple enough to move instance (keeping all your followers and followeds).

Wanna chime in and say that Mastodon, or rather the "Fediverse", also has a sizeable proportion of chuds and nazis as well, but many of the more proactive instances do their best to actively exclude them. You'll want to try and feel out which ones are actively administered and aren't just being run by absentee admins who just parked a fun domain name.

Also you'll want that so you don't have to move at some point when your admin simply decides they've had enough or they forget to pay the server.

The two big features they are building to be differentiators are

Moving your account between servers. This is actually really hard to do on Mastodon so if your instance goes south it’s hard to move without basically starting over

Custom feeds. You can program your own algorithm for what you see basically and use others’ custom feeds. There are good ones like “only see posts by the people you follow, not replies or retweets” and BlackSky which is only posts from or relevant to the Black community there.

That’s what I’m aware of. I’m not arguing for it being better, there are tons of problems and growing pains happening there, just explaining it from the bit that I know.

It takes the biggest of brain jeniouses to infringe on trademarks held by Microsoft and Meta then top it by creating a logo reasonably similar to a Comcast property (yeah it's probably not infringement level but). All while trying to destroy branding that's so integrated into modern society it's become a non-capitalized verb, i.e. having the Kleenex problem.

I dont really use Mastodon because I don't use social media anymore but my understanding of it is that it's kind of like a national park (Mastodon) with a bunch of different campsites (individual servers) within it.

Kinda, yeah. My understanding is that each server has a public feed, showing all posts from all the other servers they're in contact with. I think that contact is established whenever someone follows someone on a different server.

You can follow anyone from any server. Unless your server has totally cut off contact from a given server, which stops all that happening. This is necessary, because...

These, and also servers for anime child porn lovers. So you will need a server with an active moderation team, who will cut contact with them. Cutting contact (defederation) makes it so that, for users of that server, it's as if the other server doesn't exist at all. There are tools they use to share block lists of the horrible servers.

I wanna emphasize that on a well moderated server you don't see any of the evil poo poo at all. The experience is literally as if the nazis and pedos don't exist.

Eg https://aus.social/public for the timeline of all the posts on all the servers aus.social is connected to (which is all the servers its users are following people on), and https://aus.social/about for the server rules plus the list of what servers have been excommunicated.

Moving between servers doesn’t seem too bad, people’s follows are updated and so forth at least.
