    People who say that are generally talking about the signup where you have to pick an instance. And then there’s the worry over which other servers yours federates with. If you isolate your attention to a single instance, then all those worries go away.

    The same already happens on the fediverse in regards to mastodon itself. A lot of people discuss the fediverse almost wholly in terms of mastodon.

      Also mastodon.social the flagship instance really kind of sucks. It has strict rate limiting and poor moderation (gotten lots of follows and follow requests from gross people on there. Also means it’ll usually be Limited by other servers or blocked by their users.

      So doesn’t really help with the idea that all of Mastodon isn’t like that.

          I think it might depend on what VPN you use, I was able to use it from VPNs and Tor (Tor is kind of slow though). On Tor though it very much struggled to load images and the requests would take longer.
