I can't say this often enough; Twitter's centralization means I can access artists, scientists and friends who are inaccessible on Mastodon because they're on other servers, but Twitter's centralized, easy-access-to-everything also comes with easy access to right wingers and their opinions.
@wolfteeth ugh, so what instance would you recommend for access?
@Leucrotta just about any that's running in the normal mode (where they have to ban bad actors manually). i'm honestly not sure who's open for new folks at the moment. a friend of mine just got into mastodon.art and i think you could be a good fit there!
@Leucrotta awoo is also a bit more cut off than average since it's in allowlist mode, with all the positives and negatives that come with that
