You seem to imply that the admins of Lemmy.zip are morons - I have not heard this, can you point me to something to read in this regard? The Threadiverse tends to rake instance admins over the coals fairly regularly, so for me to NOT have heard ill of them yet, I took it as a good sign!
Sure, I was just covering all the major bases there!:-)
Speaking of, the major thing about the Fediverse is that after being banned, you CAN at least still join some other instance, or even ultimately spin one up on your own! (impossible on the likes of Reddit, X(hitter), Meta, etc.)
Btw if you did want to spin up your own instance, I’ve heard it strongly recommend that PieFed is far easier to set up and maintain than Lemmy. The preferences of its developer team don’t mean much when you have total control over what features you want to see deployed or not.:-P
I hope you find something you can enjoy. Don’t forget to heavily touch grass irl too - not instead of but in addition to online social media - as it is much more rewarding in the end.
