I keep seeing assertions that the fediverse is much "more bigoted" in total than corporate platforms, and that's quite believable -- it has no central censorship schemes of any kind and its fringes will attract the misery ejected from those platforms. I just wish the figures constantly extolling what a miserable place this is would actually *describe* how it persists and evades current moderation tools and styles so we could do something about it … something better than unaccountable blocklists.
