@dulcedemon Thanks for your insight! It's really helpful to hear about your experiences. I had no idea people were upset about it being the default, or that it was known for spam. D: I haven't seen it used that way yet (but maybe I'm not using/following things properly)

A sizable portion of everyone I know who tried Mastodon left, and I've felt a little like I'm roaming around in the dark knocking into things while figuring out how it works. I appreciate you shedding some light into it! :)
