@james@strangeobject.space I found a research paper on the trolls in the Fediverse: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-79072-1_8
It essentially says that the Fediverse has grown so fast that its moderators could not keep up with the Trolls. Twitter & co. at least had an infrastructure that could work at scale, so you may see much more hate than on Twitter. It is interesting to see how the Fediverse evolves. Could you tell us if something changes in the frequency or intensity of the fire of the trolls?
