My main problem with Mastodon is it's such a tiresome monoculture of opinion. So many people with the pretty much the same politics, biases, grievances as everyone else. Any server that dissents too much from this gets a fediverse block.

The whole thing is just so tedious. I don't know about the rest of you, but I enjoy reading opinions from people I have nothing in common with in terms of world view, and whom I vehemently disagree with.

On Twitter, you get that easily. On Mastodon, meh. Same old shit repeated everywhere. Boring and sanctimonious.

I'm sure there's somewhere in the Pleroma parts you'll fit in better.

Same problem but in an approximately opposite ideological direction.

I'm not saying it's easy but you could probably run your own instance and subscribe to multiple different servers that have the diversity you're looking for.

That's interesting, is it possible to subscribe to servers secretly so other servers don't know you've done so? Otherwise, I imagine my own hypothetical instance would get swiftly blocked.
