There are UI improvements to be made and general coordination and understanding of the fediverse (eg. discovering communities, duplicate communities, etc), but we will get there.
I think this is an important consideration. What should be done different to mitigate toxicity?
Honestly it’s exciting to be able to ask these sorts of questions and potentially be able to act on it. I’m inclined to say:
There’s an optimal size to subreddits. Small subreddits can be toxic, large ones are unless they have ultra strict moderation (so basically askhistorians).
Massed users from other subreddits can easily overwhelm and torpedo communities, even ones larger than themselves if coordinated enough.
There aren’t any sort of feedback mechanisms or checks on moderators.
Yes!! And the active non-toxic community.

Most of the users have some organs which, when consumed in sufficient quantities, are considered toxic. The key is to eat the users in moderation.
But I only tried moderation for the first time this week! Don’t eat me! Go eat the moderators over on Reddit, that’s what they do over there.
But…your name is eggy…
I prefer referring to my moderators as doors instead of keys, which are also far more gestational.
reddit tried to eat the moderation and it failed, I wouldn’t recommend it.
Give it some time…

Agreed. Reddit was awesome before it got ruined as well.
