MODERATORS
I mean that's fair enough, I'm not arguing Big Tech is solely to blame. Heck before big Social Media was a thing you still had your forum trolls trying to make everyone else's life as miserable as possible, among other infamous archetypes of insufferabiltiy. But I think (I have no data on this) that the environments found in the Fediverse are, on average, healthier than what you find on Big Tech platforms.
Whether that's down to fewer people using the Fediverse or the approach being better I cannot back with data. It's just a gut feeling that the entire structure is more geared toward facilitating a healthy community (let's ignore lemmy's absolute lack of moderation tools here for a second)
