Fediverse

Yes. There is a flaw in the reasoning. "The Fediverse™ can be pretty toxic", while talking about Microblogging with particular twitter-like features and at scale. The Fediverse is the conglomeration of all the different app types that can be built on the social networking standards. Apps can be carefully designed for higher quality social interactions. It can start as simple as local-only posting and creating a more tight-knit community (e.g. Hometown or GoToSocial). Then there's the social aspects, like people e.g. upholding culture and values together, and have moderation tools to help. Drew says "The Fediverse brought out the worst in me" and indeed your own behaviour can lead you to 'reap what you sow'. From what I remember Drew wasn't the most tactful of communicators, and come in hard and harsh on people when not agreeing with them.
