I think that generally the internet got more of those types of people and they got louder, reddit used to have subreddits whose names were just slurs or subreddits blatantly dedicated to racism. The idea of a "dogwhistle" on reddit didn't exist because the racists just said and did racist things without fear of being banned.

In the last 6 years? If anything, reddit got less tolerant of the far right since inception, it just became a bigger deal when they banned them in the last 6 years

I find it absolutely mind blowing that people are generally accepting that as okay on most social media platforms.

Exactly, having explained mastadon to people they often don't really understand or care about the actual concept, they just want to be where the content is.

This is definitely true to a degree, but it's worth pointing out that Ben And Jerry's is ran independently from Unilever and is pretty separated in terms of the way they run their business and they have a separate "ethics board" which has the final say over what Unilever is allowed to make B&J do.

Because to an average person mastadon is confusing and niche, nobody they want to talk to is on there and they don't care about the ethics or privacy implications.

Every single rapist and murderer was found to have dihydrogen monoxide inside their body at the time they committed their crimes, and your friends and family may be using it recreationally without you knowing

Looking at the stats for the subreddits I moderate, I can't see any actual change in unique views since the apps shutdown

I don't think the storage density of a blu ray is anywhere near good enough for that use
