I actually switched instances so I can interact with you lot. You guys have your own culture that’s hard to really penetrate when someone isn’t one of you.
I chime in when I have something to add or on one of the subjects we agree on, but I’ll always feel like I’m walking on eggshells, or, well, I feel like an outsider anyway.
I think the feeling like an outsider thing is pretty normal for any group though. You can just keep posting and commenting and eventually you’ll either figure out the parts of the site culture you enjoy and lean into those, or create your own place within it that others enjoy too. This just sounds like normal community experience stuff to me.
I think what really does the best job of explaining why this place is forbidding is the attempts to point out the reasons are met with flat out denials. it’s like you’ve used this thread to reassure yourself that there are no disconcerting answers to your OP question
Getting banned on main is amateur shit you use alts to figure out what the real rules are. Nobody has ever actually enforced their espoused netiquette. The culture here is as toxic as SomethingAwful

That makes me feel more at home, at least.
I’m generally pretty good about not going too far, but who knows.
