Social users want reliable, less-hostile online communities

Some social-media users say they want a service that works reliably and offers active moderation, fewer bots and trolls, and no ads; some are willing to pay for that experience. Others want a Twitter-style space where they can participate without bullying or feeling overly restricted. The signals point to a shared desire for a better-run social space, but they do not establish one set of moderation rules that would satisfy everyone.

For social-media users seeking ad-free, actively moderated communities. Mentioned from Nov 2024 to Apr 2026 on Bluesky.

  1. Don't get it. Would happily pay to have something that's moderated, doesn't have adds, and functions well

  2. I would happily pay a small monthly fee to be on this site - if we can keep bots/trolls/fakes off + no ads. Anybody else?
