@atomicpoet@firefish.city I don't think it was just "the place of safety" that drove people to BS.
There are many more reasons, for one thing that many people were looking for a quick alternative to Twitter, but didn't consider Fediverse as a different network and that many things work differently here. Most people just wanted a 1:1 replacement, which they found much easier with BS.

Many marginalised communities isolated themselves on their Fediverse instances and locked themselves away when the Musk wave came crashing in, because Twitter behaviour also took hold on a massive scale.
These groups are still there, we just notice them a lot less
