Here's one absolute truth I know about the fedi.
Bigots have more support and acceptance than progressive, and forward-thinking people do. There is a reason so many Black and Brown instances have come and gone, but the domains on many blocklists are so consistent.
No technology on Earth can fill that gap.
With so many new people coming in, the fedi is at a crossroads and needs to decide what kind of culture it wants.
Either it's going to be a space where bigots feel comfortable, or it's going to be a place that actively supports new and fresh ideas where people from any background can come and find community.
It cannot be both.
@Are0h there is no single fedi. There is nobody to make this choice. There are lots of different communities with their own values and ideals. The reason communities like FSE thrive is because they manage to stay interesting to their own users. That’s it. There is no magic involved.
