Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there's a viable alternative – the fediverse isn't growing.1 One reason why: today's fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+ people2, Muslims, disabled people and other marginalized communities. ‌

This place only unsafe for trolls. And that's a good thing.

Not even just trolls, I have yet to come across a clearly-bad post that wasn't already downvoted to oblivion, or a clearly-good post that had a negative total. And the csam response? Straight up world-class defense system faster than any megacorp could've scrambled together.

Lemmy users are anything but passive when it comes to trash showing up in the feed.
