Sorry you have had a bad experience here. However, jumping in on threads like this to air your gripes may have something to do with why you experience such issues.
To be clear, you are free to use Mastodon however you want so long as you don't violate the rules of your server, but thread jacking and otherwise being a curmudgeon can get you blocked and otherwise isolated.
The point is that the issues you are having may have more to do with your style of engagement.
@mastodonmigration So it is the case that free speech is not provided here.
It’s not about willingly violating anything or anyone.
It’s about the scissor in everyone’s head and how you deal with people.
I can tell you that there are quite some people who had bad experiences here using mastodon. What brought them to Bluesky. I had talks with some of them from all over the world.

Indeed you have every right to free speech, and everyone also has the right not to listen to you. That's the way it works.
Going to block you now. Just exercising the right not to hear your free speech.

Hey Bluesky users...
️Good day to try Mastodon. We won't bite.
Join a server. We call them instances. Here are few great choices:
mstdn.social: https://mstdn.social/auth/sign_up A really great choice! EU based and run by @stux. Cats!
Vivaldi: https://social.vivaldi.net/about Yes, Vivaldi the browser, but you don't need the browser.
infosec.exchange: https://infosec.exchange/auth/sign_up Techies! Run by @jerry
Or just go to https://joinmastodon.org and pick one. It is hard to go wrong.
@mastodonmigration @stux @jerry Maybe worth having an account on BlueSky to spread this message ?

@mastodonmigration @AndyGER so many people confuse freedom of speech for an entitlement to an audience

@wiredfire @mastodonmigration I absolutely give you that. No problem.
The point is we are all adults and we can act like adults or we can choose to be childish. The last thing is quite often the case here.
So when I for instance, say something, you don’t like you can choose to ignore it or you can answer it in any way you like. And within this conversation, I can however tell you what I do not like either. (1/2)

This is a debate. And when everyone acts just reasonable, it can really be fun. Even both or more agree to disagree.
Right? … (2/2)

Is there a tutorial out there for how to port my .social instance to a new location? Thanks for the help, and keep up the good work! #NewbsDoingNewbThings

Right, however as the other person who’s since blocked you noted you’re trying to force that debate into a thread / space that it’s nothing to do with. That’s unlikely to get you in front of the people up for a good-faith conversation on the topic and comes off as combative and / or entitled so becomes something of a self-fulfilling gripe. -

Yes, several, but here is a very good one by @FediTips, who is also usually available to answer specific questions you might have.

@mastodonmigration @stux @jerry I'm on masto.ai and I have no complaints. I don't know what the ".ai" stands for, but it isn't the AI we all love to hate.
I also have an account on fedi.at - it's an Austrian server but it allows toots in English and it has a 5,000 character limit. I have a pixelfed account but don't use it much.

@wiredfire @mastodonmigration Believe me, I know that and I did this on purpose this time.
He looks like a spokesperson for mastodon but he simply cannot pick up peoples needs. I had debates with him in the past. Short ones.
What I have learned here in more than five years is, that communication with administrators, for instance, are very hard to come by.
But everybody is very quick with the block feature. (1/3)
So tell me, what kind of social network is this? And keep in mind that I am by far not the only person. Quite many tried mastodon in the past and they were scared away.
I for myself may be a bit resilient …
From a technical standpoint, the #fediverse is great. But it’s highly immature and for some it is toxic.
For starting an account, it is not reliable as long as you are not willing to host your own server. (2/3)

There are many great servers. Almost all of them, in fact. Just recommending a few options for newcomers to overcome that initial fear of choosing.

@mastodonmigration @stux @jerry Yeah thanks for making the effort. There are a few nice accounts for newcomers to follow. Yours. @FediTips is another one.

Another interesting option is to try Wafrn, a really cool unique application that connects to both Bluesky and the Fedi. Apparently Wafrn has not skipped a beat during these #Bluesky outages.

Attached: 1 image An option for #Bluesky users who might be wanting to diversify their risk is to create a Wafrn account. "Wafrn is a federated social media inspired by Tumblr that connects with both the Fediverse and Bluesky." @gabboman@gabboman.xyz reports that Wafrn has not been impacted at all by the recent #Bluesky outages.

This is solid advice. Unfortunately, many Bluesky users are not likely to see it, unless they are already here.
