The <a href="https://aus.social/tags/federated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>federated</span></a> nature of it is consistent with freedom of speech, Instance based moderation of toots, non profit and voluntary.</p><p>It is very much self-regulating, allowing each individual to decide what they see on their timeline. Individual can also swap instances based on their criteria until they find a ‘home’. Moreover, the ability to block out rogue instances which breach the rules (set up by each individual instances) ensure that such rogue or misbehaving instances don’t get all the oxygen they desperately seek. </p><p>In sum, the Fediverse is a healthy, evolving environment equiped to deal with the worst of social media’s harm. Just relax, engage, mute, block, petition your admins to block rogue instances, and enjoy ad-free and algorithmic targeting-free social interactions.</p><p>I’m a nube here, so happy to stand corrected.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Trolls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trolls</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feditips</span></a></p>
