It was super trans for a while, but now it's been flooded with marvel-hamilton-reddit-resist libs, but right wing hate accounts like libsoftiktok have been banned immediately.

It's better than X the everything app though.

The secret is to find starter packs that sound like your vibes (socialist, shit posters etc) follow them all then unfollow the ones you end up disliking.

I've been using it just fine, but I also use it the same way that I use Twitter. I mostly just followed the Chapo boys and my Internet art friends and put it on Following only, instead of interacting with randos.

I read that pro-Palestine accounts started getting shut down very aggressively pretty much right away, but I don't have an account there so I cannot independently verify that.

It's still early days. They are committed to open source code and their work shares some cadres and ideas with the original scuttlebutt (secure-ssb), so for now I have faith that they can build a sustainable open ecosystem before they get eaten by capitalism. The slogans and technical plans have been saying mostly all the right things, the ceo is a millennial former OWS activist, etc.

The actual practice of how they've responded to the recent growth surge is lackluster. They should be working on end-user/volunteer moderation tooling and instead they're putting out statements about "verification".

Their own site moderation has their hands full with just right wingers and illegal shit, but the flood of transphobic resist libs is still enough to drive some of the cool LGBT leftists off the site, since private accounts are not a thing and will not be for a while.
