Truly the best of both worlds - we have the propaganda and the censorship!

Any social media where "people" can freely register and post without any identity verification (I don't support this btw) will be overrun with bots, and Fediverse is not an exception. I've blocked dozens of users and communities that post nothing by political crap (all day every day) from any point on political spectrum.
Though Fediverse at least gives you more freedom and tools to handle it.

I've actually been mulling similar thoughts when thinking about the next few years of the internet. With rampant ai generated bullshit and constant disinformation campaigns, current day social media is dead. The whole internet is dead and will likely split into geopolitical sphere centric regional internet with controlled interaction amongst each other, similar to the Chinese experience.
We can see it beginning to happen with the united states consolidating their sphere by pushing tiktok out, and the crumbling trust the people have in online information. From a European perspective, and the recent unwillingness to comply with EU misinformation laws by google for example, I expect the eventual formation of alternative services that do comply, and with the increasing wariness towards russian and chinese political interference through disinformation I also expect that some sort of real life verification will become required to prevent bots and foreign actors most effectively.

Life Facebook Instagram or TikTok didn't have tons of bots

Fediverse Freedom eh? So there's no moderation? Or is it more, "if you don't like being censored by this authority, fEeL fReE tO hOsT yOuR oWn InStAnCe"?
People being unable to challenge others beliefs are what led to the divided world we live in today. Give us total freedom to call anyone, anyone on their bullshit, or quit blowing smoke up our collective asses.

Gotta say, I stand by everything I've said, and I think you'd be hard pressed to read that mod log and not chuckle at least once
