Mastodon using a local instance (not mentioned) has been good in my experience so far. I've had fun and useful technical exchanges, as well as healthy general random chats. I think I've been able to control what is in my "feed" well enough. So far.

I do not think Mastodon (or especially Lemmy) are immune to the outrage culture of X and the like.

My guess: More growth ahead for the Fediverse, outside of areas discussed, and it will degrade rapidly.
