Recently got banned for rule 1 after I called a guy a cracker. Appealed it explaining the context and they denied the appeal. But it turns out that nazi who doxed my IP address didn't do anything wrong, and neither did the two open pedophile accounts pushing racism. They sure as hell did a good job cleaning up house of leftists, though!
There's no justification: it's a white supremacy platform which protects fascists and pedophiles while repressing leftists.
For me it's really intimidating. Like it feels like I have no idea what's going on. Takes a long time to set up and the entire process is really unintuitive.
I'm a 1337 H@x0R and this shit is hard for me to figure out. How do you think the average person is going to think? Say what you will about Twidder, it's easy as shit to get going and find connections.
I thought signing up for mastodon.social was relatively easy. Setting up your own instance is a different story, but very few people will need to worry about that.
