Really wish people were migrating to Mastodon, or even to Threads, since Threads can federate.
IMHO, the lesson from the corruption of Twitter should be don't build your social network on a proprietary walled garden.

Mastodon and Threads have also been comparatively slow/reluctant to respond to community feedback. With Mastodon this is understandable because it’s open source and resources are limited, but with Threads that’s not a problem which suggests it’s intentional.
With regards to federation, I think in this case it just takes the worst of both worlds, but to each their own. I'd prefer a truly decentralized approach.
If you want to see the outcome of an unmoderated platform without consequences or accountability see how anonymous message boards evolve every time.
Society and face to face discussion has its own inherent methods of moderation so I don’t really understand this absolutist desire for an anonymous town square we can all yell vitriol at each other. And twitter isn’t even that.
He doesn't. You didn't link to anything regarding what I explicitly mentioned. How dishonest of you (no surprise there). In fact, I knew someone would have the very same knee-jerk reaction you had and link that wikipedia article or a similar one. Go ahead, downvote me all you want. Silence my post just like Twitter used to do with non-woke standpoints. You won't have provided any real arguments to counter my original post, still. You're pointing to a whole other problem there: complying with court orders. And you can thank Lula for that.

That's quite a ridiculous way of caricaturizing free speech. Whenever the truth emerges through the filth, it's "vitriol" and "hate speech" for your delusional lot. Wokeness lost. Own it. Now everyone can see everything for what it is, with no corporate, partisan or governmental censors trying to manipulate reality to fit their abject narrative.
You did this to yourselves. You pushed the term (and the whole ideology--extreme constructivism under an abhorrent mockery of morality). Don't spit in the wind.
