I feel bad for all the people who want to join fedi, find out all the cool instances have registration locked for 100% merited reasons, and end up at a jannied shithole where you talk about topics like how much you hate Elon Musk and Twitter, how great Mastodon is, and nothing else for fear of walking on eggshells.

They then move back to Twitter because all the artists are on it along with shitty memes.
