It was an echo chamber, the Tumblr Exodus made society much more leftwing overall when they moved into Reddit and Twitter, despite still using 4chan memes to this day.

you are absolutely correct. this is why blueski and mastodon will ultimately fail.
People have been putting up with being called "literally Hitler" and "literal nazis" (to somewhat match your example) almost since Twitter's inception, and still do, to a lesser degree, though, because levelling the playing field has seemingly made many of those people leave the site. Taking a look around was just short of unbearable because of the rampant censorship and repressive tactics that skewed the site very far into wokeness territory, up until Elon Musk took over. Yet people who didn't abide by it still put up with it, fought it, or downright ignored it.
Of course, I'm being downvoted for this, but (You) can't escape reality, folks. It was a shithole and we all endured it; now that it's free from the clutches of wokeness, it suddenly becomes unbearably toxic. Great. Find another echo chamber where you can mold reality to fit your abject fantasies. This time you won't be able to force them on us, though.
