Given that half the games are anime waifu sims these days, I can only imagine what horrors you'd unleash letting people link to their profiles on anime waifu mastodon instances.
Actually no, I don't have to imagine it since I've seen the horrors with my own eyes.
Then why don't they accept any instance? Fediseer has an api where they can see the most reputable instances and limit to only allowing those reputable instances.
Because of what everyone else here is saying. If you're a company like Valve, you don't want to open a portal to undesirable content that isn't moderated. They chose the biggest instances with the most users because those are generally going to be the safest ones.
The fuck? Well, I guess Mastodon is more diverse than I originally assumed. Sorta...ish.
I don't use Mastodon, because I barely even use Twitter, and the whole point of that platform is to observe the non-stop parade of simpletons and lunatics.
From what little I have seen, Mastodon seems like a place where you go to live in a ultra annoying self-policed fart sniffing bubble, and to publish security disclosures.
Now, I don't need to know about the pedo instances, but if you can recommend any instances that emulate Twitter's cultural clashes, of fart sniffing resistance liberals, and bleach drinking QANON chuds, please let me know.
I'd love to watch those nitwits spar, without the deluge of crypto scam ads and onlyfans DMs.
I know it's not directly related to your comment, which was already fairly self-explanatory. So...yeah, any recommendations?
I said cultural clashes, not pedo and MAGA circlejerks.
Wait, do you not realize what an echo chamber is..?
Because that's exactly what I don't want in my Twitter-like experience.
I want to watch the opposing groups of internet brained waterheads, who view posting as combat, flail, whine, and throw hissy fits at each other, while on the same platform.
First off, no, this isn't combat and I don't suffer from that delusion...
Secondly, I'm talking about crazy vs. crazy. I want QANON nuts, antivax moms, liberals that accuse everyone they don't like of being a Russian bot, etc.
Finally.... I'm having a hard time moving past you calling this a gladiator pit, and implying that I'm a gladiator.... Actually, what's your Twitter handle. You sound like someone I should follow.
