@shibao @shibao this is what has happened to a bunch of people and they've written off the fediverse entirely.

Actually, a few of Baest's users came from instances like those. They seemed like cool people so I hoped on an alt to explain why things are the way they are and that there's a whole fun side of the fediverse they can't even see.

Most moved to either my instance or another one on this side of fedi and have been having fun ever since.

A lot said they had read about the fediverse and wanted to check it out and were about to give it up because it was boring and super woke until I came along and they discovered the fun side of fedi.
