As a pacifist, what I love most about the Fediverse is how it feels like a shared search for peace. We have Caturday, when everyone posts cat pictures every Saturday. There's Mosstodon, which is all about sharing beautiful photos of moss and nature. And we have SilentSunday, where people post calm outdoor and nature photos. Even with all the chaos in the world, the Fediverse has a way of calming my mind.

in reply to Roni Rolle Laukkarinen • • •I think this is just a product of its demographic. The people who come to Mastodon, from what I’ve observed, are largely left-leaning, tech-oriented (or tech-critical) millennials, maybe next would be Gen Xers, and then last would be older Gen Z folk like myself. So the “old social media” sensibilities are reignited.
When Fedi becomes viable social media for the mainstream, I worry that stuff might be harder to find and experience.

I don't think you need to worry. What we believe to be the normal discourse on social media today is to an extremely large degree the result of "interaction-promoting" algorithms (to raise ad views) abused by troll factories that have as a mission to sow discord and pit factions against eachother. The large platforms try to not do anything about this due to ... ad view numbers going up, and number of user accounts also going up to please their investors.
The fediverse is completely free from those incentives. Not only by being non-algorithmic and ad-free, but also because fediverse instance operators have no interest in "number of user (trolls) go up" - that's just a cost. We remove them on sight.
