For me, the idea came once I stopped blaming Facebook/Twitter users for their hateful/extremist views and instead saw them as the victims of the addictive information hellholes that have trapped them. They are not our enemies just because their community is still on FB. They are our brothers, sisters, parents, and children who have been left behind in a war zone, and it’s our duty to help get them out. nostr:npub1d98srwkt632thedj63eaj89kfyachrfah6gztw4xjvk5lcf9ezgsu7yhr5 nostr:npub1trdnqrfstufc45awha43p6xy2n0v6czuhapzh4r09hap08dg0c6s9gussx
nostr:npub1trdnqrfstufc45awha43p6xy2n0v6czuhapzh4r09hap08dg0c6s9gussx I get the gripe about the lack of user groups or sth like that. That's understandable.
But where did you get the idea that Mastodon was supposed to replace Facebook?

This is exactly why I've been advocating for federating with Meta's Chains. Maybe Limiting, but not Suspending (to use Mastodon terminology). I see this as part of a larger strategy that also involves actively encouraging people to move from Chains to non-corporate servers, and writing export tools that make that easier.
