    this is a problem with fediverse in general imho.

    the tools admins and users have are blunt (defederate or block). with all sorts of content moderation policies and opinions you will inevitably end up either alienated from everyone or surrounded by people that think and talk just like you.

    fediverse does offer many advantages… creating a better online “town square” is just not going to be one of them.

      But yeah I have said to others I intend to use it more as a link aggregator by effort but not community.
