Highly recommend folks check out Mastodon as well - fully decentralized, no ads, no algo, no corporate control.

It is continuing to grow steadily and has tons of activity compared to a few years ago.

Federated and no control just means it’s going to be overrun by trolls at some point?

Probably not. Each server has its own moderation, and servers that tolerate bad behavior from their users get blocked by most other servers.

I'm not sure the current model would do well against a large coordinated manipulation campaign, but it handles isolated trolls at least as well as corporate social media.

No corporate control. Server admin block nodes they don't want to see, so it is important to join a server with similar views as your own, or run your own server.

They already had 8 years to overrun it.

You don’t get trolls unless you have a lot of people on there already.

It's probably a bit more work than a lot of trolls are willing to put in. Trolling doesn't require a lot of thought or creativity, but setting up the infrastructure does.

They already had millions of people to troll.
