I've only used mastodon for a week. My account just got suspended for:

"Being a capitalist"

I am not sure what that means. But I guess I can fix it by sending some moneros to the server owner?

The Fediverse is not very welcoming.

@charlesgaba Unlike Twitter where the moderation is an incomprehensible black box, Mastodon's mods are people. And yes, that means sometimes they make mistakes or potentially are just kind of rotten. I think the best practice for new users is to join one of the "safe" instances listed on joinmastodon.org, make some connections, get to know how things work, and then if you want a change of scenery you can move to a new instances where the mods are people you trust.

@ldcolton Yep, that's the advice others have been giving as well.

@ldcolton @charlesgaba I think a more likely problem right now is overwhelm from sudden growth: too many new people to keep up with, some of whom will be trolls or people testing boundaries.
