  That’s expected. The difference is the Fediverse gives the users the flexibility to employ our own strategies for dealing with it. When a bunch of money is clearly being spent astroturfing the tiktok/ig/reddit algorithms, you can’t do anything about it. But here, instances can decide to defederate from other instances that aren’t properly moderating such content. Yeah, Elon can make his own instance, he can even spend money creating bots on other instances, but the Fediverse gives us the tools to cull them.

    The thing is, normal people have no idea what you’re talking about. Degenerate? Instances?

    These are nonsense words to everyone that hasnt been here since its conception.

      You’re switching your argument. Is your argument that the Fediverse can also be manipulated by the wealthy, or that people outside the Fediverse don’t understand what the Fediverse is? Those are two different conversations.
