Really? My impression is that everyone is welcome. The only way I could imagine someone ending having a bad time there is to be hostile to other users.
I’ve been a part of a lot of online communities going back 20 years. The fediverse had the most off-putting user base of any I’ve experienced so far. I liked the whole decentralized idea, but the users and culture drove me away.
Fediverse is split along cultural lines so you might want to check out the other half (freespechextremist, poast, etc.) if the "official" instances are not to your liking. Of course being split means that BOTH sides are more extreme than the average user would be on a shared platform.
