       Hey, new/returning people...Not every instance on here is a general discussion anything goes instance.Scholar.social is for academics.Elekk.xyz is for gamers.Etc. etc. etc./Please/, when you sign up for an instance, read the rules to understand the community you're joining.I'm seeing people complaining about instances for enforcing rules that have been in place for years.This /does/ make someone look bad, but it's not the instance admin.

       The instances I respect have very hard working admin who make sure to keep their communities strong and thriving.Don't make it harder on those admin because you just want a place to archive your tweets.Or you want to fill the local timeline with content unrelated to the theme of your instance.Or you want to make Mastodon into the numbers game that corporate social media has become.Many instances that encourage that get defederated from the ones with respectable admin.
