I decided to give Mastodon another shot here recently, I found exactly one promising leftist instance, mastodon.lol. Bills itself as an "LGBT-friendly antifascist mastodon instance"
I watched another user get banned for saying that Azov were neonazis and I got banned for sticking up for them, then as part of his 240V power trip the admin posted a pity thread where he claimed we called him literally Hitler.
The only other leftist instance I saw welcomed all socialists except "authoritarians" so I assume it's either a socdem or sectarian anarchist instance.
TL;DR - Mastodon hasn't changed at all, it's still ran by power-tripping micro tyrants
I’ve been signed up for that exact instance (Mastodon.lol) for a bit now and have been spending less and less time on it because of shit like that. It’s all sectarian anarchists and Pelosi worshipping libs, and "anti-fascists" who think that Putin is Hitler reincarnated and Azov are heroes. Oh, and of course ML's and Maoists and the like are no different from Nazis according to that instance. I think I've lost more brain cells there than I ever did on Twitter.
Well I fired up my 7 proxies and made a drama post if you still have an account and want to interact with it: https://mastodon.lol/@15October1959
Yes I am aware of how petty this is
Followed and favorited that post.
Eh, who cares. Petty can be fun, like in this case.
It's been a half hour and the account hasn't been banned yet. I guess if it's still around tomorrow I'll log in and boost the post
You definitely should if it's still around somehow tomorrow. I'm honestly surprised that I'm the only person to have interacted with it yet.

I just found out what you're referencing with that Mastodon username. Pure perfection.

Yeah probably. I feel better about it having said my piece now so I'm just gonna let it go
