Misskey as a project looks pretty cool, but they seem to lean really hard into the anime culture thing. I couldn’t find, on a cursory glance, an instance that seemed like it would feel appropriate for a middle aged man.
No shame to anime culture, you do you, but it seems like they’re missing a segment for adoption.

I mean I get it’s not exactly the same, but I can’t think of a time anyone chose not to use Cowboy because of the mascot. https://ninenines.eu/ https://ninenines.eu/
