Indeed, but not all GNU Social instances are bad or evil, and I think most Mastodon users do recognize that.

In fact, the vast majority of GNU social instances are filled with friendly people who share the same values that typical Mastodon users have.

Similarly, if you look at the whole spectrum of Pleroma instances, you'll find that it is basically the same scenario as Mastodon and GNU Social, there are extreme instances using all three softwares, but in reality, most instances are just small, friendly instances with friendly people who just like to have a nice time. In fact, I had a bad interaction with a neo-nazi using Mastodon on Sunday.

In recent months, the discourse that Pleroma is some evil plot to do whatever has mostly died out. I think this is because we have proven that isn't the case. It's just software.
