PieFed should've been my first choice in joining the Fediverse (piefed.social)

So far, I am enjoying PieFed.social and there are features on it I wish I had before. Originally, I joined KBin.social but KBin ended up being abandoned because the owner had health issues. So I moved to both MBin and Lemmy. Things were going good for a while, but, sometimes I would unintentionally attract the ire of antagonizing users from certain instances. This is not my first account in the fediverse, this is probably my 8th or 9th go at this.

I would last about 1 - 2 months at most before I ended up deleting the account because of the toxicity I was facing from a handful of users. I would get tired of having to individually block them whenever they came up, because they were usually from about a couple of instances that just seemed to have the most toxic users from. Least from experience.

PieFed at least gives me the ability to block entire instances, which is crazy to me. I don't mean to say that everyone is a bad apple from X instance, I'm not going to talk of what they are. It's just, there were enough bad apples to where I warranted myself in blocking that instance because they've given me the most trouble and ruined my experiences numerous times in having a nice, engaging and healthy time on the fediverse.

Heh, PieFed has been around in a usable form for less than one year now. It's a pity it wasn't around when you joined the Fediverse, but now it is. I believe chances are it will eventually overtake Lemmy in number of users. That should also probably speed up Lemmy's development quite nicely, which would be nice as well!

Watch the sweat crack in the tankie quarters once we hit 10k mau!

They got really emotional when the user base exploded in thousands of new signups.

I'm new here, which instance is the talkie quarters? Piefed seems fairly balanced and welcoming, which I can't say for other alternative socials I've tried.
