I second this, I’ve been using it more and I really enjoy it. The only thing I would recommend people avoid is the original mastodon instance, since to combat losing market share they’ve been banning instances which sort of defeats the point of the fediverse. But gab and qoto.org are both good imo. You sort of get the close community of a smaller social network but since there’s a large programmer population they tend to build out really robust bot networks too.
There are various ways I could describe this, but good isn't one of them.
> Gab is an English-language social media website known for its far-right user base.[8] The site has been widely described as a "safe haven"[9] for extremists including neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the alt-right.[10]
> The site was launched in 2017 and claimed to have almost 1,000,000 registered user accounts by July 2019.[11] It primarily attracts far-right and alt-right users who have been banned from other social networks.[12][13][14] The platform populace is mainly populated by users who are "conservative, male, and Caucasian".[15] As of 2018, the site's most-followed users included high-profile far-right figures such as Richard B. Spencer, Mike Cernovich, and Alex Jones.[13][15] Gab recognizes far-right websites such as Breitbart News and InfoWars as competitors, according to a March 2018 financial filing.[16][17]
Any other Mastodon/fediverse instance is better than this.
