    Define ‘weird political shit’. Because Mastodon is also full of weird political shit. The election years are unbearable.

      Mastodon is also full of weird political shit.

      You have been friending the wrong people.

        Because not everyone is obsessed with politics and there is actually a lot of cool non-political content to enjoy. Although during some periods it’s better to stay away from the main feed.

    Dunno how to answer your question BUT X-twitter was always political. It’s worse now because of the upcoming elections, AND if Elon is actually going to be a part of the government it’ll be a raging dumpster fire. Good luck, OP.

    If you don’t want weird political shit, avoid the largest ones, like .social.

    I am on mastodon.art which has most of the fascist distros blocked and I use Tusky. I love it.

    Mastodon also has great filtering tools and temp muting so you can curate your experience pretty tightly too.

    Fedilab is a killer app I mainly use. Also as for server ur gonna have to do some digging to find one specifically tailored to your needs 😂

    I’m on a local Scottish instance called glasgow.social because the admin is relaxed about free speech without allowing it to become a total cesspool. Almost got kicked off treehouse.systems before I migrated because I suggested political violence was bad - even if left wing people were doing it.

    Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I’m on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).

    If you like Lemmy.World, why not set up the account on Mastodon.World? It’s the same admin/ops team.

    I second moshidon, although I’ve just started using phanpy, which has some cool innovations. There is not nearly the wealth of Mastodon apps that we have here on Lemmy.

    I’ve never even browed the local feed on the Masro server I’m on.

    Just pick a non mainstream one that has been around for a bit ?

    I use Fedilab, Megalodon and Rodent.

    Bluesky isn’t a terrible Twitter alternative, but it’s not federated. Mastodon is fine, but I’ve had a much harder time staying engaged there.

      Bluesky does have federation, it’s just limited for now. You can host your own accounts on your own hardware.

    Nah that’s not it. Twitter is filled with engagement bait and right wing weirdos peddling low key sexism and racism. You can’t even see the people you follow anymore.

      Bro every month or so I used to open X to look at what’s new and I’d be bombarded with notifications from sex bots and random garbage I’m uninterested in 😭 didn’t blud say he’s removing the bots? That aged poorly Ig. Finally deleted my Twitter and reddit accounts yesterday

    I’d go for stability. Smaller instances can be slow. If you want fast load times use a bigger one, like mastodon.social
