Mastodon and today's fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default
Parts 1, 2, and 3 of "Golden opportunities for the fediverse – and whatever comes next"
Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there's a viable alternative – the fediverse isn't growing.1 One reason why: today's fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+ people2, Muslims, disabled people and other marginalized communities.

Total bullshit article.
If anything, I've seen more LGBT people here and on Mastadon than anywhere else on the entire internet.
I think the community doesn't particularly care if you are LGBT or whatever else you are. Does not matter.
Total bullshit response. Yes, there are a lot of LGBT people on the fediverse. There's also a lot of homophobia and transphobia on the fediverse. And the instances run by nazis and terfs very much care if you're trans and will harass you just as much on the fediverse as anywhere else.
Yes the fediverse is like society in general since it's people here. That doesn't mean it's unsafe any more then real life is unsafe if you do stupid things, like go into unsafe areas of the city at night.
You need to find an instance that is friendly, which is not hard to do.
