"but isn't excluding nazi instances the definition of a creating an information bubble"

Yeah just like keeping out the Sarin gas from where people live is creating a breathable air bubble. What is your point

This needs to be said again: mastodon.social is not Mastodon, and neither is Mastodon synonymous with the Fediverse.

Whatever your specific user experience is not indicative of everyone else's.

“You, Elon Musk, are addicted to Twitter. You’re the asset. You just bought yourself for $44 billion dollars.”

"Twitter was built at the tail end of that era. Their goal was giving everyone a voice. They were so obsessed with giving everyone a voice that they never stopped to wonder what would happen when everyone got one. And they never asked themselves what everyone meant. That’s Twitter’s original sin. Like Oppenheimer, Twitter was so obsessed with splitting the atom they never stopped to think what we’d do with it."
If two thirds of the country is dedicated to meat & milk production it’s not really ‘full’ just badly utilized. But yeah I can see the “angry & unsatisfied” https://www.ft.com/content/4c56c9b2-f4ad-4956-9216-655acebd845d

A warning in advance:
After such a big wave of people moving to mastodon, which is big fun, one less enjoyable thing will happen. A lot of accounts will arrive who will start trolling, spamming and not abiding to the terms / code of conduct (which can differ per server!)

The only ones who can do something against that structurally, are the server moderators. And that takes time and effort.

What you can do: report messages and think about moderation rules (governance) together with your admin!

What I really enjoy about this space is how there are so few crypto bros.

Ik realiseer me ineens dat er hier op Mastodon maar één manier is om leuke toots een breder publiek te geven: boosten. In tegenstelling tot Twitter is er geen algoritme dat berichten naar voren schuift omdat ze veel likes krijgen, of reacties eronder, of omdat het een beroemd persoon met heel veel volgers is.

Kortom: we moeten het helemaal zelf doen. Dus ram op die boostknop bij alles wat je leuk/mooi/grappig/interessant vindt! 💪

The biggest servers are gathering lots of people. I hope they're entry points, not destinations, and people use them to build their mental models of the fediverse and shift their account (you can port your followers!) to strengthen smaller communities.

Some servers already gathering tech policy people appear to include
tech.lgbt
eupolicy.social
mamot.fr
climatejustice.social
fosstodon.org
infosec.exchange
