    Dunno how to answer your question BUT X-twitter was always political. It’s worse now because of the upcoming elections, AND if Elon is actually going to be a part of the government it’ll be a raging dumpster fire. Good luck, OP.

    noc.social is a small but quick server. Don’t use Android so I can’t speak to that.

    And I will say that I’ve got much better engagement on Mastodon than I ever did Twitter. The people overall are kinder and more thoughtful. It’s more likely that the disrupters just aren’t there yet. Almost everyone I had followed on Twitter is on Mastodon though. May not be the same for everyone.

    When it comes to instances there’s no “right” answer for everyone. Pick one that you enjoy, that you identify yourself with, that you don’t distrust the people in charge, and that is neither shitting its pants nor overly large. This site might help you with that.

    I can’t recommend an app.

    Bluesky isn’t a terrible Twitter alternative, but it’s not federated. Mastodon is fine, but I’ve had a much harder time staying engaged there.

      Bluesky does have federation, it’s just limited for now. You can host your own accounts on your own hardware.

    Tusky is a great droid app. And I would suggest one of the big official instances. If you hate it you can transfer your account/profile to another one. Your posts don’t transfer though.

    If you like Lemmy.World, why not set up the account on Mastodon.World? It’s the same admin/ops team.

    I second moshidon, although I’ve just started using phanpy, which has some cool innovations. There is not nearly the wealth of Mastodon apps that we have here on Lemmy.

    Define ‘weird political shit’. Because Mastodon is also full of weird political shit. The election years are unbearable.

        Because not everyone is obsessed with politics and there is actually a lot of cool non-political content to enjoy. Although during some periods it’s better to stay away from the main feed.

      You have been friending the wrong people.

    If you don’t want weird political shit, avoid the largest ones, like .social.

    I am on mastodon.art which has most of the fascist distros blocked and I use Tusky. I love it.

    Mastodon also has great filtering tools and temp muting so you can curate your experience pretty tightly too.

    Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I’m on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).
