There's such political fighting everywhere on the 'net. I use ActivityPub for musicians, programmers and Cory Doctorow, and don't have to deal with much of that, because I just avoid it.

The Federated Timeline is slightly cursed (I haven't curated it for a while), but less so than Twitter. (My instance, Fosstodon, doesn't really federate with the Nazi instances; those it has ended up federating with have been swiftly blocked, because Fosstodon's admins don't like admin-condoned harassment of their users.)

And I'm glad that with email we don't have server operators deciding on politics for their users. ActivityPub has a long way to go if labeling instances as "Nazi" is enough break federation.
