I'm going to assume that you don't have kids. Parents will understand where I'm coming from, I think.
The Fediverse is decentralized, which means that it cannot (or at least it would be very, very difficult) be shut down by anyone. On an individual level, any user is free to start their own instance or community with their own rules in place should another instance or community become undesirable. If there is something you don't like or that is somehow stifling to you, start your own and make it the way you want it.
If subscribing to one's own interests is an 'echo chamber', then all of us are guilty. If you are going to immerse yourself in 'diversity and understanding' by dunking yourself headfirst into the totality of the human condition without any filters whatsoever....well, you get what you deserve, I guess.
This depends upon the communities you follow. And you have the choice to NOT follow them. I only read the communities that I subscribe to (instead of sorting by 'all'), and it is very rare that I encounter the garbage that you're describing.
Both are correct. I don't see the Fediverse ever becoming as large as the billionaire platform for the precise reason that it isn't run by billionaires with gigantic advertising budgets. As such, the Fediverse will not have the large numbers of users and hence, will be quieter.
That being said, the Fediverse IS an alternative to the billionaire platforms - especially for people who desire smaller, more intimate communities and - perhaps most importantly - controlled and governed by the people who use it.
It looks like elves don't use railings, either. I imagine this was put into their DNA by Eru Iluvatar to maintain population control in Middle Earth.
He's a dwarf. They can spit out axes and stairs and bridges without railings in the blink of an eye.
I'm notoriously tender-hearted. I tear up watching or listening to emotional content all the time. I've never cried at funeral, though...mostly because I'm usually just trying to keep it together so I can be supportive for those who need it. Otherwise, I'm a big softie and it annoys me sometimes, but...it's just how I am, I guess.
Oooh, this looks interesting. Thanks!
I was really interested in trying feedr, but got frustrated trying to install it and moved on to other potential options.

This was a really great answer, and I appreciate your perspective. Things aren't always what they appear to be on the surface (although sometimes they definitely are).
