EN: However, the biggest problem on social media is not young people, but unscrupulous platforms and their business models, which inevitably cause collateral damage. As well as the numerous adults who spread hate, propaganda and disinformation on these platforms, offer drugs for sale, prey on minors, bully, incite hatred and spew vitriol.

Das größte Problem im sozialen Netz sind aber ohnehin nicht Jugendliche, sondern skrupellos agierende Plattformen und deren Geschäftsmodelle, die absolut zwangsläufig Kollateralschäden erzeugen. Sowie die zahlreichen Erwachsenen, die auf diesen Plattformen Hass, Propaganda und Desinformation verbreiten, Drogen feilbieten, sich an Minderjährige heranmachen, mobben, hetzen, geifern.

｢ The site will be hosted at "freedom.gov," the sources said. One source said officials had discussed including a virtual private network function to make a user's traffic appear to originate in the U.S. and added that user activity on the site will not be tracked ｣

The U.S. is developing an online portal that will enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments, three sources familiar with the plan said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/19/world/politics/us-online-content-bans-europe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #europe #internet #tech #censorship #hatespeech
Many people left X because it thrives on hate-driven engagement. In terms of reducing hostile and toxic interactions, how much better is the Fediverse, really?
I’ve seen Fediverse enthusiasts mock people who prefer BlueSky, calling them "normies" and speaking with a sense of superiority when defending this space.
Even within the Fediverse, we often get caught up in technicalities, apps, protocols, federation details, and other things that most people simply don't care about. People just want to connect, find community, and read meaningful content.
If we can’t tolerate others choosing different paths or platforms, then we’re reproducing the very behavior that pushed many away from X in the first place.
If we want the Fediverse to grow, we need better technology, as well as more empathy and openness.
I find it curious when people are surprised by racism, homophobia, and other forms of hate on social media, even on platforms that don't rely on them to grow.
We are still dealing with the society we have, and many people are capable of learning and changing. Civil dialogue is one of the most powerful tools we have for addressing disagreement and conflict.
If we give up on empathy and refuse to engage with perspectives that shock us, what purpose does social media serve as a space for connection?
This doesn't mean tolerating intolerance. It means making an effort to reach those who are open to reflection and growth. After all, who among us has never changed their mind?

"They want to uphold quality journalism and offer a counterpoint on platform X. But Tagesschau, ZDFheute, Spiegel and Zeit do not achieve many views or positive interactions with their audience. What they encounter most of all is hatred. Why do they stay there anyway? An analysis."

Sie wollen Qualitätsjournalismus hochhalten und einen Gegenpol auf der Plattform X bieten. Doch Tagesschau, ZDFheute, Spiegel und Zeit erreichen weder viele Views noch positive Interaktionen mit dem Publikum. Was ihnen vor allem entgegenschlägt, ist Hass. Warum bleiben sie trotzdem da?
