You can see it if you check https://fedidb.org/. Monthly active users have gone from just a hair under one million to somewhere around 1.4 million and still growing. How do we think this will go? How do we feel about this influx of new users? Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn't?

I feel like I didn't really recognize having different "platforms" like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a "first" impression with people.

Maybe you could try banning words like "elon" or "trump" if you feel overwhelmed. Some apps have this feature

well, i'm against individual workarounds for common problems, there should be common solutions.

otherwise you just start alienating 99% of the users who won't put in the effort to install an extra app just to get that filtering, or if using the web interface on mobile, it's just not possible.
