Probably the clearest indicator that the lack of technological literacy in mass market society means that marketing budgets are incredibly effective, and most won’t question the incentives of the platform holder.

It makes sense. There are a lot of topics that just cant be discussed and communities that can’t exist in the fediverse. Mma for example couldn’t move here its to right wing even removing the politics. Even if it was restricted to its own instance it would be defederated. That sucks, I like that fediverse culture is staunchly anti “bad” stuff but i wish there was more tolerance for “bad” instances as long as they kept that behaviour to their own instance.
