With the code of conduct on things like Mastodon I do not think you could consider that a good source. They have rules like:

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, casteism

No discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof

No spreading disinformation or conspiracy theories that undermine public health

No conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism

They are functionally identical to places like Twitter and Reddit in terms of the quality of the people running it. I do use Element/Matrix though since it has encryption. We have a KiA backup room there just in case.

You can see that many "branches" have their content suspended from interacting with Mastodon for things like harassment and hate speech. This is why it is not reliable. If the people moderating things are compromised then anywhere good just gets quarantined away, same as Reddit. Dot Win has reliable admins (for now) so it works well as a public site. It does not solve the issues that people have been having with social media at all.
