@mxkoder@hachyderm.io Right, this is why I added an addendum reply to my post shortly afterwards - I realize that not *everybody* on Hachyderm is like this.

The problem however is that Hachyderm as a whole is very rapidly starting to become a threat to the broader fediverse and everything that people have painstakingly built up, and that is a higher priority to me.

This wouldn't be such a problem if people were willing to hang back and get a read of the community first, but instead a lot of people are driving capitalist nonsense into fedi at full speed, and that's a real problem.

The corporate policy is a great example of this - the sensible thing would have been to *not* invite corporations and wait it out for a few weeks to get a sense of the community first, but instead they're just... going ahead with it anyway. "Do it first, ask questions later".

And that's just not how it works here, consent is generally considered to be non-negotiable around here. This is a big part of *why* fedi was such a nice place.

Obviously people need time to acclimatize. But there are just too many people on Hachyderm who aren't taking that time at all and just *assuming* that their behaviour is welcomed here, and very little seems to be happening on an instance level to prevent or discourage this.

All in all, people seem to care more about onboarding corporations onto fedi, than they care about onboarding people to the existing community norms...

And this makes Hachyderm and particularly its leadership a threat to the existing community, and the typical response to that is an instance block.

All in all, I would recommend moving to an instance that has leadership that's more mindful of the broader fedi community. There are quite a lot of queer tech folks on here on other instances too!

(Honestly, the fact that Hachyderm advertises that it "has both capitalists and anti-capitalists" is a pretty clear indication that the moderation isn't going to improve. Capitalist-tolerant instances do not fare well here.)
