    both user bases are full of a lot of nut jobs and people with extremist and crazy beliefs.

    platforms don’t change people. that’s what nobody gets. fediverse is not going to ‘solve’ the problem of being people nutjobs seeking other nutjobs to compete over how ‘true’ their nutjob commitment is.

      that’s completely irrelevant, because in internet and real life there are nutjobs everywhere. even tho the definition of nutjob might slightly differ for everyone, the platforms allow users to regulate the amount of nutjobs they meet individually, for example by subscribing communities with less of them and/or blocking/filtering.

      also, the voting system helps a lot, so ppl get easy feedback about their content and it helps with sorting, too.
