ActivityPub is more than lightly used, it just isn't used by people you want to associate with. You pretty much have to either accept radical leftism and hang out with tankies or you get to hang out with the actual Nazis that are blocked by the "mainstream" leftist servers

Yes yes, there's radicalization for everyone! God forbid you want to use social media for something besides political fighting though

There's such political fighting everywhere on the 'net. I use ActivityPub for musicians, programmers and Cory Doctorow, and don't have to deal with much of that, because I just avoid it.

The Federated Timeline is slightly cursed (I haven't curated it for a while), but less so than Twitter. (My instance, Fosstodon, doesn't really federate with the Nazi instances; those it has ended up federating with have been swiftly blocked, because Fosstodon's admins don't like admin-condoned harassment of their users.)

And I'm glad that with email we don't have server operators deciding on politics for their users. ActivityPub has a long way to go if labeling instances as "Nazi" is enough break federation.
