Personally I don’t think social media must be safe. I actually enjoy more diversity and freedom of speach more than “safety” however you define it.

FYI some people are transphobic and they still should have the same right to use social media as you and me. That’s why I love fedi. If you want to make your own transphobic server you should be allowed to do so but also accept that other servers won’t connect with you. It also work the other way around.

If you want to have healthy fedi communities you need to moderate and educate them what is allowed and not allowed. You can also create your own instance and moderate it yourself.

But that’s just my opinion. I understand that not everyone agrees with it.

I wish my fiance agreed to at least try Lemmy. I tried to explain her why picking right server is important after which she said it’s too complicated…
