Grassroots JoeMastodon still has no ads (and likely never will), no algorithms (except those created by open source developers you can choose to make use of), no venture capitalists waiting in the wings to start the enshittification process.
Yes, there are people who can be annoying and people who can be hateful, but they are a distinct minority and most of the time easy to avoid.

@joeinwynnewood @volts.wtf A small point-no Third Party ads you mean. I see many folks advertising themselves, etc. Which is both fine and advertising.
Yes, that's correct. I don't consider self promotion of creatives to be advertising, defining advertising as paying someone to produce promotional materials and someone (else) to present those materials to an audience.
