   The fediverse solved the anti-censorship issue but people chose against its use

     No, they chose to not use it at all, and they chose to not use it at all because of the network effect. People would prefer to play ban evasion games on Twitter or whatever instead of mass migration off such a platform.

     The Fediverse is going to end up the same way as any and all rational and necessary inventions. For example,
     
     In Illinois, there is Law (its State Law) that any Public Library refuses to stock pornographic literature in the Children's Section is going to lose funding.
     
     People are coming to the Fedi with no purpose, with no intention to contribute, to improve. The Fedi has no value to them, so they do not care about polluting it, damaging it or even destroying it.
     
     People did not "chose against its use", people simply do not care to invest into it, the same way they did not invest in GNU and Linux, or no longer care to protect the purpose of the Public Library system.
     
     Live long enough, keep paying attention, learn to read between the lines and you will see the same.

     I really think it boils down to the network effect. Their favorite celebrities, politicians, academics, etc, are on Twitter, not fedi, so they're going to join Twitter, not fedi. Nothing about anything else matters. The network effect is king.

     @NEETzsche the biggest hindrance to the fediverse is that a majority of instances have seen fit to try to defederate any instance that doesn’t align with them bar for malicious and felonious content. Pile that on top of the mentality that comes with centralized platforms and it becomes a headache for normoids to want to engage.

     I'm really not a fan of this idea that "filtering" people off of fedi is a good thing. Consider how stagnant fedi has become. That's not a win. That's a loss.

     That’s a win. They self-filter.

     Except it's your friends who don't want to see -isms and -phobias who got "filtered." That's what people are talking about when they say "filtering."

     I simply cannot understand people's mentality about the Fediverse. Filtering and discriminating IS one of its missions - or its developers better make it its cornerstone missions.
     
     I know a dozen individuals in my circle of friends, relatives and other associates (who collaborate with me on my industrial designs and services) who tried Fedi, logged onto one of my clients, and refuse to do it again. They were repulsed by a few morons spewing kike nigga fag rants.
     
     Wake up people, we WANT these morons on the other side of our barriers. This is not "free speech", this is simply uncivilized behavior. I cannot keep promoting ownership of Fediverse clients while I do not have a way to keep my timeline clean of deranged individuals.

     Uncivilized speech is pretty much the only thing free speech is intended to protect. Other speech doesn’t need that protection

     Most of the reason I dumped regular social media was I was tired of losing respect for all my friends. I realized years ago that I don't want my in-person friends in my online experience.

     What kind of things did your IRL friends post that made you lose respect for them?

     I'll give an example.
     
     One of my old scout leaders for example was an absolute cunt of a communist it turns out. I get as a tradesman he's always been a union guy but he had no sense of proportion and couldn't read the room to save his life online.
     
     There were a lot of instances of problems but the same thing that drives people here to call everyone a niggerkiketrannydiaperfur causes people to run their mouth even on normie social media in ways that they can't fathom how idiotic they sound and how many friends they're losing. I'd rather lose strangers online than my in-person social contacts. Without social media we'd probably still get along just fine. With social media, he knows I think he's a fucking retard.
