I remember the olden days before social media, when most Internet communities were built around message boards.
Both lightly-moderated and heavily-moderated communities were fun for different reasons, but what I discovered over time was that if moderation falls below a certain point, the result is always pedophiles and Nazis.
As I predicted, #Twitter is basically a few pedophiles short of being the next 4chan.

Mastodon has such a wide and diverse culture.
I'm routinely in political discussions, humanities topics and various computery things. I am sometimes in photography topics, or maybe philosophy and arts. On occasion I'll see an amazing think piece or a new piece of learning that I can explore and dive into. The ocean of Mastodon is filled with every changing and swirling currents of every topic imaginable.
With a click of a userid you can explore the insights of Data Science, see an article on Global Warming, enjoy a reference to Cocaine Bear, and then find yourself suddenly weighing in on an opinion on a subject, with the literal PhD who wrote the book you're referencing.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
