Unpopular opinion, but put me on the deepest darkest fediverse instance and I feel safer than most big tech sites.

Without the algorithm actively building lynch mobs of any variety, I feel like the people who disagree with each other can choose to block, mute, comment, repost, or ignore but there won't be any algorithmically created mobs rolling around. Most "viral" posts you could fit the people who interact with it on an Airbus a380, rather than a small country. Without the algorithm keeping old posts visible, they're ephemeral, soon drowned out by the next interesting post.

I guess it's a two sided sword though, the reason many of the celebrities ran back to Twitter in a few days is they can't get arbitrary positive attention from an algorithm either and they need to achieve engagement like any other person. You can't even get your agent to buy follows because the number of followers doesn't affect who sees your posts.
