No, so they invade it in simpler, more pervasive, ways

They want both the queer dollars and the conservative family values dollars. They produce what they believe will be the most marketable to the most people.

Seeing this meme has set me on a Mr Sunday Movies binge. I’d been off them for a bit since they were mostly covering things I wanted to see and didn’t want spoiled

Vote federation can be weird

P2P social networks have a moderation problem. Individual users are all their own moderators, which works like the “block” feature on Lemmy and KBin. However, this can get super exhausting so fast. There’s only so much fascist, homophobic, or transphobic bullshit a person can tolerate in an online interaction before they just give up and leave the network because it feels like there’s nothing worthwhile there.

There may be a solution to this problem someday, but for now, you have a choice for P2P networks. You can give up on user discovery entirely, as in Secure Scuttlebutt, where your network grows as you get invited to follow people or invite people to follow you. Alternatively, you can give up on moderation entirely, as with Nostr. I think either are fatally flawed presently, making federated services the best choice for having good control over your social networking experience without having to do every single part of it yourself.

I think ultimately something like that will be the solution. And maybe it will just be that you can subscribe to any other user’s block list, and perhaps they can in turn subscribe to yours, and basically within your peer 2 peer network the block list(s) are federated. You could potentially even have a block and whitelist where when someone you think shouldn’t get blocked gets blocked you personally white list them, and in the case of conflicting block and whitelists, a consensus based confidence list is created where some users just don’t show in your feed if enough percentage of your block list follows block them vs whitelist them, and users near 50% show in your feed in a collapsed “controversial” mode

I refuse to do any such thing

This is still a developing migration. There are new active users on the threadiverse that weren't there before. The threadiverse has reached a form of critical mass where if people stick around, they can still have an enjoyable social experience without revisiting Reddit. If Reddit continues to exist, that's fine, I guess. I can't control what other people do. The important thing to me is that things that aren't Reddit are becoming viable in ways they were not before. We don't rely on this tech company anymore, we rely on ourselves.

Further, I predict that while traffic is stabilizing back to pre-protest days, that quality will continue to decline. It's not going to be instant that Reddit dies. It's a slow, steady, crawl into the grave for them
