@eris When I was new to Fedi and didn’t know anything, I just thought “oh, a place to share my art!”. But then I looked at how extensive and detailed the rules were, and was grateful I hadn’t chosen to join the instance. I wouldn’t have lasted long as an autistic person. I’d already been driven off Discord by abusive admins by then. Then I saw Winter trying to start fresh with a new instance only to immediately get stomped, and that soiled it. I’ve now defederated from .art.
