Pretty much summed it all up after someone asked what 'Big Mastosoc' was. The reason I made the distinction of calling Mastodon a network within the Fediverse is because it is what they call themselves, and most Mastodon instances tend to defer to the judgement of these precompiled blocklists effectively becoming one giant echo chamber.

The reason I included most instances that *aren't* Mastodon as being part of the 'alternative fediverse' is because you'll find no shortage of instances which fall on the fringes of political incorrectness which are fairly administered yet occasionally federate with 'the usual suspects'. Miruku.cafe is but one such example of that. Just because we don't have poa.st blacklisted doesn't make us fascists, nazis, bigots, etc, etc. That tends to be the attitude most Mastodon instances apply to those that are more permissive with whom they federate. Guilt by association.

Between that and targetting Pleroma as a platform for the belief that it is built for and by Nazis and Soapbox on account of its creator, it doesn't paint a very good image of Mastodon to those who do reside beyond their iron curtain.
