I dont want to deal with people gore spamming every single Matrix channel again.

I don’t understand this sentence. The two words I don’t know in this context are “gore” and “matrix”

I'm not so sure. Depends if there's a solution to the bots. Bluesky is inundated with them already.

I'm trying to find one right now that doesn't suck. I want one where I can microblog, share pics, and videos to my friends and family. Essentially Facebook. Friendica is EMPTY. I deleted Meta products. I'm not on X. There is no alternative.

Isn't Mastodon a good alternative? It's a microblogging service like Twitter. You can post statuses, pictures, videos, etc.

You can also make it private and set it to approve your followers.

Honest question, what are the incentives for instance operators to play nice, so to speak? And not just recreate new oligarch safe havens?

It seems like each instance is a miniature zone of centralization and it's still incumbent on individuals to create their own circles of influence. For better or worse that's how we get hivemind echo chambers and I'm not sure it's even in human nature to seek anything else.

Alternatively we have to rescue our friends and families when they start to fall for BS and educate them aggressively on improving the sourcing of their information.

How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

I did my research at the heritage foundation.
