I decided to give Mastodon another shot here recently, I found exactly one promising leftist instance, mastodon.lol. Bills itself as an "LGBT-friendly antifascist mastodon instance"

I watched another user get banned for saying that Azov were neonazis and I got banned for sticking up for them, then as part of his 240V power trip the admin posted a pity thread where he claimed we called him literally Hitler.

The only other leftist instance I saw welcomed all socialists except "authoritarians" so I assume it's either a socdem or sectarian anarchist instance.

TL;DR - Mastodon hasn't changed at all, it's still ran by power-tripping micro tyrants

    It's been a half hour and the account hasn't been banned yet. I guess if it's still around tomorrow I'll log in and boost the post

      You definitely should if it's still around somehow tomorrow. I'm honestly surprised that I'm the only person to have interacted with it yet.

      I just found out what you're referencing with that Mastodon username. Pure perfection.
