the benefits are non obvious. social media does not have bandwith issues and few people want to share illegal text/images. so centralized platforms can work almost just as well as decentralized ones. should social networks become subject to a lot of censorship, this will change. |

Now with perspective ai it looks like this will only increase and all of this is never a user choice, it's always the platform deciding for me what level of toxicity I'm able to handle. And it often plain fails. Lots of false positives.
I see this on every platfrom, nontransparent moderation and algorithm filtering everything without my knowledge nor any control.
I personally use mastodon daily, I don't know what a platform needs to reach to be successful, but when I use it daily it's successful enough for me.
Even the pawoo drama makes it sound like the only reason people in japan use it, is to see lolicon content, but the whole pixiv platform is far more than just lolicon. It's like deviantart full of talented artists that don't draw any lolicon content. This platform just doesn't think of lolicon as taboo. Mastodon is constantly growing and it's not just the pawoo instance.
