Mastodon is not likely to pick up steam without big changes to moderation. Bluesky pretty much took the wind that should've been in Mastodon's sails.
And further, I really want a competitor to YouTube. YouTube is super fascist-friendly, and I am getting sick of it.
@tofugolem @randahl I'm thinking this way too. My country just launched measures to prevent kids under 16 from accessing social media because of the harms, while sacrificing all the goods. Most of the problems with social media platforms exist because they're owned and administered in America. It would be easier and better to develop new platforms that we *do* control, that let kids communicate with their friends and enjoy the benefits without the evils of spying on them, monetising their data and using algorithms to control what they see.
If only there were a solid decentralized non-US public social media platform.

@mastodonmigration @randahl @tofugolem It's not #Mastodon, it's #Fediverse and we will never get further unless we finally figure this out.
Imagine you couldn't send e-mail from @gmail.com to @yahoo.com .. why do we tolerate this in social networks and walled messengers?
It does not mean we do have to win or something. All we need to be is viable alternative for people, who figured out someone is puppeting them...
