Those issues (per the article) being that it's not a perfected platform yet and that it's slightly different than reddit.

How do you go from this:

> There’s just no way I could feel comfortable in a community that supports the right-wing nationalist Putin’s war on Ukraine, or outright denies the harsh repression meted out against Muslims in China.

Which makes up 50% of the article, to "it's slightly different than reddit"?

You could just join a different instance, like the article recommends. The bit you quoted is one paragraph out of 10, not "50% of the article". It's not like Reddit has never had ugly sub-reddits, especially earlier on when it was trying to be a bastion of free speech.

It's more like 3 paragraphs, but that's not really the point. It's one thing to have ugly subreddits / communities, it's another if the developers and the main instance is the ugly one. If one of the main issues of those federated networks is fragmentation, telling me to just ignore the main one doesn't bode particularly well.
