I have not experienced that ... at all. Surely this is highly instance dependent.
- nilptr 3y agoHave you considered you fit the mold?
- JustSomeNobody 3y agoI have considered that I don't fit most molds, but I am very observant.
- hklgny 3y agoI could believe that it's possible to stumble upon an instance that fits who you are and offers a great onboarding experience - but it's far from the norm. The reason I'm confident saying that is that it's actually by design for the platform. The community is very hostile towards any kind of discovery tools or enhancements that help you explore the network without a direct introduction. Any attempt to provide that functionality is blasted with an intense amount of aggression and shut down.
