They are functionally identical to places like Twitter and Reddit in terms of the quality of the people running it.

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.

I think there's some confusion here. "Mastodon" isn't just some other social media alternative that requires you to use their infrastructure. It's self contained software you run on your own server as an "instance", and no one on the "official" mastodon instances has control over any of it. The code of conduct you've posted only applies to a couple instances out of thousands, and anyone can host their own instance with their own rules and team.

Information is shared not just to clients but between instances when interactions happen between them, or when an instance chooses to directly relay another. If a post is deleted on one instance, it can still be mirrored and stored on multiple other instances. You can even make a single user instance just so you have your own personal database of public posts.

(Also regardless of what the Mastodon team thinks, Pleroma is the same thing but lightweight and not made by SJWs. I recommend you look at instances like https://shitposter.club/ and https://freespeechextremist.com/ to see examples of what the Fediverse could be.)
