>You'll never find sports, guns, cars, comedy and a lot of other mainstream content on these platforms even though there is nothing inherently offensive about it.

I'm pretty sure you can find all of those things on TikTok and Youtube Shorts. If you're talking about federated platforms, probably all of it but guns. And if you can't of course no one is stopping you from starting a channel or instance yourself.

I posted a cool clip from the UFC and got banned even though the content had a warning. It wasnt even that violent just a clean headkick ko.

If I started an instance it would get defederated because people would take one look and assume its toxic. But its not, Im not, I've spend years in the leftie techie activist spaces and cause no issues.

You’d get defederated by instances that find that sort of thing objectionable, I guess. But, if you think it is a popular niche, couldn’t a separate community grow? That’s the whole promise of decentralization.

		I do think its a popular niche but currently no one on the fediverse enjoys that stuff. But how can it grow when its rejected?

The whole point of federation is that you can build communities that share common values. I'm not sure what more you want. We can't force everyone to like the things you like.

However, it is a little silly to suggest that UFC is not extremely popular. I myself have wasted hours flipping through UFC reels.

		This is about the fediverse not about the rest of the internet.
