Fediverse vs Disinformation - Divisions by zero

If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear about them in the comments.

Someone explain if I'm reading this right.
So I look in the modlog from time to time. There's been some actions I've seen that I don't agree with, but there is no way to see the context, so I've never spoke up. But today I saw something that concerned me. I'm just going to copy/paste the modlog so you see what I see.

I don't know who this guy is, or who the mod is, but essentially this guy is getting banned for being liberal.
Or am I misreading the situation???

Where's the Movies and Podcasts?
99% of the reason that I use Reddit is to share cool things with like-minded people in podcast and movie subreddits (e.g. r/LPOTL, r/MST3k). However, I don't see any communities like these in the Lemmy or Kbin world when searching in all communities.
Is there something I'm missing?

What's happens if, like mastodon and matrix, 99% of ppl only use the handful of the biggest Lemmy servers?
let's address the possibility that like mastodon/matrix 99% of ppl will flock to the biggest handful of servers
What is the real value of decentralization given that? Outside of like political unrest.
And what role do small servers really do in that landscape? Obv "novelty" servers like midov cater to the like lolicon enthusiasts and I'm sure there are a few other servers dedicated to illegal things. Regional severs are quite compatible with various nationalists/patriots

Is the fediverse assessible to the boomers/computer illiterate? What's the most boomer friendly service? Have you onboarded any boomers in your life?
Boomer in like Facebook/tiktok is their final technology frontier.
My friends/circle (ages 19 - 72): 95% don't know how to set up Adblock on desktop. 20% only use computers once a week. 5% use shortcuts like copy and paste. 30% of them buy iphones bc they find android too hard too bother with (I agree with this). 1% struggle with basic concepts like knowing if they are posting a status or DMing someone. Tho 10% trade stocks by themselves, so with sufficient motivation they could learn.
I have onboard 1 person irl and I had to walk them through it.
I rate the fediverse as 0/10 for assessibility to boomers but have not tried the whole fediverse

Citizens' social media can provide an antidote to propaganda and disinformation
theconversation.com Citizens' social media, like Mastodon, can provide an antidote to propaganda and disinformationCitizens’ social media is a form of alternative media that challenges both mainstream media and right-wing propaganda.
cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/330836
> Good article that criticizes Pew Research Center's new report of reducing "alternative social media" just to sites like Parler, Gab, Truth Social and so on. It makes a good explanation of the Fediverse (referred as "citizens’ social media") and sees it as an antidote to the propaganda and misinformation promoted on those platforms. > > > More nuance is needed here: the Pew report focuses solely on what mass media scholar Kristoffer Holt calls “right-wing alternative media.” And in doing so, it misses a more democratic form of alternative media, what communication scholar Clemencia Rodríguez refers to as “citizens’ social media.” > > > And for all of us tired of both big tech and online trolling, citizens’ social media is our way forward.
