@YKantRachelRead I started at #fosstodon. Within a week, I had about 20 toots directed at me that were homophobic and violent. I reported each one. Instead of fixing the problem, I was told by admins it was me and that I needed thicker skin. The next week I had almost triple the number of hateful and violent toots directed at me. I left and tried to get the instance #fediblocked. I was told by the wider community I was overreacting and that Fosstodon was not that bad.
