Define ‘weird political shit’. Because Mastodon is also full of weird political shit. The election years are unbearable.
Mastodon is also full of weird political shit.
You have been friending the wrong people.
Yeah why would you go on a microblogging platform if you didn’t want to see “weird political shit”?
I moved from tusky to moshidon, as for a server just pick one, I use mas.to
If you don’t want weird political shit, avoid the largest ones, like .social.
I am on mastodon.art which has most of the fascist distros blocked and I use Tusky. I love it.
Mastodon also has great filtering tools and temp muting so you can curate your experience pretty tightly too.
Just as a heads up: .art also blocks a lot of the pro-trans and/or furry instances as well.
How do you find out what mastodon instances block others?
In the “about” page linked at the bottom of the instance there is a section for “Moderated Servers” which may have a list of blocked and limited servers, along with reasoning.
Dunno how to answer your question BUT X-twitter was always political. It’s worse now because of the upcoming elections, AND if Elon is actually going to be a part of the government it’ll be a raging dumpster fire. Good luck, OP.
I’m on a local Scottish instance called
glasgow.socialbecause the admin is relaxed about free speech without allowing it to become a total cesspool. Almost got kicked offtreehouse.systemsbefore I migrated because I suggested political violence was bad - even if left wing people were doing it.Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I’m on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).
I’ve never even browed the local feed on the Masro server I’m on.
Just pick a non mainstream one that has been around for a bit ?
I use Fedilab, Megalodon and Rodent.
I don’t know about servers but moshidon is great
If you like Lemmy.World, why not set up the account on Mastodon.World? It’s the same admin/ops team.
I second moshidon, although I’ve just started using phanpy, which has some cool innovations. There is not nearly the wealth of Mastodon apps that we have here on Lemmy.
Bluesky isn’t a terrible Twitter alternative, but it’s not federated. Mastodon is fine, but I’ve had a much harder time staying engaged there.
Bluesky does have federation, it’s just limited for now. You can host your own accounts on your own hardware.
Nah that’s not it. Twitter is filled with engagement bait and right wing weirdos peddling low key sexism and racism. You can’t even see the people you follow anymore.
Try Bluesky
