Honestly, I don't like #Mastodon. I don't like or understand the moderation rules. I don't like that it's addictive. I don't like being thrown into a giant space with people who don't like me, or who I don't like, or who are upset with me for posting what I want to post about because it's not what they want to see.

There's a lot wrong with this entire form of social media. It's a waste of time. There could be much better efficiencies if we could organize where our thoughts go. Like blogs.

Those depend heavily on what instance you are on.
Shop around. Look at the about pages of different instances. Find one that suits you. Bear in mind though that there are some instance that yours will be unable to communicate with through defederation. If you don't like any of them you always have the option of self-hosting. Try #Snac or #Honk if it's just for yourself. #Akkoma or #Pleroma otherwise.
@light I may switch instances.
