I don't really consider the "dark fediverse" to be intrinsically rightwing, so much as it is a medium through which you are expected to moderate your own experience on the fediverse without relying on your instance admin to filter out the unsavoury elements for you.

@Hoss is a great example of someone who can post about numerous topics of interest one moment and then make an antisemitic remark the next. Such is the duality of the fediverse. It is ultimately left to your discretion with whom you associate with and adjust accordingly. Another example I can give is of the thriving queer community on the 'alt fedi' that isn't part of the Mastosphere. They've probably been thrown every insult under the sun, yet they persist nonetheless. That is because they have chosen to curate their experience on the fediverse by distancing themselves from problematic people and instances while federating with those that align with their shared hobbies and interests. That is how you'll end up with people that selectively interact with friends and acquaintances from the 'alt fedi' while avoiding most of the egregious instances known for spewing nothing but revilement and vitriol.

The Mastosphere on the other hand is known for their sweeping fediblocks on all manner of instances for anything remotely offensive to the point of being libel. The result is a pre-Musk Twitteresque echo chamber that is inorganically sanitary. Any 'wrong' opinions, political or otherwise may result in your account being marked to have reduced visibility. This includes removal from Mastodon discovery and your posts being restricted to unlisted only, which previously happened to me in one such instance. The way that people migrated over from Twitter and have used Mastodon as a drop-in replacement for Twitter is not something that a lot of people in the fediverse at large appreciate, nor are their attempts at trying to police the fediverse through a unified blocklist. That is the reason you'll often find people like myself on the 'alt fedi' as our side of the iron curtain affords a greater degree of freedom in the range of our speech and expression.

@meso @Hoss@netzsphaere.xyz “dark fedi” may be less sanitary and more hostile, but at the same time it’s less toxic than the mastodon-dominated parts of fedi
there are some retarded channerisms going around but I’ll take that over twitter brain damage and siege mentality any day

@meso @Hoss@netzsphaere.xyz yes i replied to pasta

@mia its not that hostile once you get comfy with the place. hostile losers generally dont step out of their echo chambers as much as they used to, even on here where poast doesnt block the instance

@meso no, it's because you're the kind of chud who needs to be fed a load of bricks right before a load of lead.

@crashglasshouses it's a copypasta retard

"@ Hoss is a great example of someone who can post about numerous topics of interest one moment and then make an antisemitic remark the next"

so then you block the douchebag, and there is zero problem

antisemitism and other forms of bigotry are exactly the same thing you're complaining about

being intolerant of intolerance *is* tolerance. logically and morally
