Even though millions of people left Twitter in 2023 – and millions more are ready to move as soon as there's a viable alternative – the fediverse isn't growing.1 One reason why: today's fediverse is unsafe by design and unsafe by default – especially for Black and Indigenous people, women of color, LGBTAIQ2S+ people2, Muslims, disabled people and other marginalized communities. ‌

Yes the fediverse is like society in general since it's people here. That doesn't mean it's unsafe any more then real life is unsafe if you do stupid things, like go into unsafe areas of the city at night.

You need to find an instance that is friendly, which is not hard to do.
