@LianaBrooks@mastodon.online I've been on the Fedi, primarily not mastodon, for several years now and do not have a social media presence outside of the Fediverse.

I like it here.

I am not a person who would normally be targeted for harassment so my experience has been pretty pleasant, but I know there's weird ass gatekeepers around this that seem to actively want to drive away non-white and queer folks - a thing that can be largely invisible to anyone but the target because of the structure of Mastodon/ActivityPub. That's a real big problem for this to become A Thing in the culture - for it to get that far, I'd need to be able to invite my MIL and wife and have them have completely different, but very pleasant experiences rather than the current experience it is now.
