I'm glad that works for you. TBF i have been using fediverse for over 2.5 years now, and it was not so bad until about half a year ago, when all the sudden like every other comment I make here gets me insulted and harassed by trolls who accuse me of trolling and being a conspiracy theorist for citing well-known information from reputable sources, while meanwhile counter posted their conspiracy left-wing crap as 'truth'. The election of Trump and the murder of Kirk seemed to coincide with a big influx of bad faith actors here who were probably banned from reddit for their pro-violence viewpoints. They also tend to be very stupid people IMO, and constantly harass and accuse others of the things they are doing rather and seem to think their hostility towards others is good and correct but anyone's hostility is wrong and bad.
Not to mention all the weird sentimentalists who just berate and report you if you don't take highly simplified stances on issues that equate to kindergarten level communication. Even suggestion that a social or political issue is complex and nuanced is grounds for getting you banned in a lot of communities now. That wasn't the case a year or two ago.
I've also repeated been lectured that piefed is some miraculous place that is 'different' but I've been on it for several months and it seems no different other than a lot of the users on piefed instances huffing their own farts on how superior they are for being on piefed. Which is precisely the type of immature nonsense that crappy people believe, that their arbitrary choices of social media platforms make them morally superior to anyone who isn't also using those same platforms.
