Here's a #feditip for you.
Before you join an instance, always look at its about page (https://mastodon.art/about).
If you unfold the "Moderated servers" list and an absolutely massive blocklist shows up (like on dot art) that means that this server is suffering from extremely toxic censorship and you should not join it! On a typical instance this list is usually only 10 to 20 instances at most.
Also if you can't see the "Moderated servers" list, that means that the admins have hidden it on purpose. I suggest do not join an instance without this type of moderation transparency either!
