MODERATORS
Agreed! I don't use it as extensively as I probably could, but it feels clean and simple.
It also feels like you have a voice that people can hear instead of being drowned out. It may not last, but it's nice.
It'll probably falter once their advertisers start pressuring them to start censoring more what people post on this site. Reddit was the exact same way. It started out all good, but became shit over time after advertisers started pressuring them to censor more and more. The same cycle will repeat itself on this site eventually. It's all about the good ol' money!
That's unlikely to happen. The fediverse is supposed to be non-commercial, it's entirely run by volunteers and donations like the old internet. If an admin ever tries to squeeze money out of their users, they can all just move to a different instance and defederate the bad one.
