To be honest, people can complain about them all they like, but they need to stop using their services. Which isn't happening, so whatever they're called, they'll continue to do what they want (given the reluctance of regulators to, erm, regulate).
Anyone got any experience with Mastodon?
I know a few people who use Mastodon, but it has the same TechBro libertarian problem and non-dealing with genuinely problematic content not being removed that other social medias have.
I think it very much depends on which instance you join and the instances it federates with. I gave up on it.
I've always challenged my own views on gender/sexuality/class/race as to try and live without prejudice. I always sought to challenge prejudice whenever/whereever I recognise it.
I recognise I enjoy the privilege of being white and male but it is not something I want. I truly believe that whatever characteristics/traits a person has or however they identify should never deprive them of opportunity nor make the subject to hate. Neither should a person born to a particular gender, skin colour, in a particular country or to a particular social class etc. be at an advantage to anyone else.
All that said, I found the opinions expressed on many of the instances I explored about cis-white-males, complete with graphic descriptions of violence, to be too much.
No one should ever have to experience hate like that, on any platform, irrespective of anything.
