@damaja @jwildeboer there's a lot of instances quietly blocked behind the scenes, single user "burner" instances set up by the same group of edgelords - they tend to target the large number of LGBT+/trans folk on here and any Black users, and leave alone others (as they are quickly reported and end up having to make another instance).

Fediverse isn't that hard to use, but does attract open minded people who speak more than one language and have a fairly high standard of education..
