I agree but we lack alternatives.
Gimp isn't there yet (we'll see after the next big update), Davinci lacks resources (like video copilot for after effects to do something quickly instead of manually doing everything) and it's pretty expensive if you need something from the paywall, Natron isn't user friendly, Krita is great for drawing but not so much as a photo editor (most of the tutorials assume you are drawing something), Blender... I couldn't really get it, felt too much for the small things I do for fun.

Also adobe products are easy to pick and use, even for piracy is very easy to find them, a cracked Davinci... Not so much.

From experience on Debian and Fedora:

Zerotier One runs, but if I try to play with someone inside that network, it's extremely unstable or just won't connect (tried with Yuzu, Ryujinx, tModloader and Minecraft)

Xlink Kai also runs, I'd like to use it with Dolphin Emulator but it always says it failed to assign an IP and to manually add it to my console... Which is impossible on Dolphin.

Both options work without tinkering on Windows, and it's something I use regularly, I have no idea why they don't on Linux and most of the time I get redirected to the documentation... Which is useless anyway.

Old man rant:

Back in the day, forum mods punished those who engaged along with the troll, the golden rule was to not feed the troll and it was enforced.
When moderation was removed from users and small communities, trolls found a new protection, now their bait was rewarded and they could easily get what they craved, a reaction and spread their hate.

I'd say we should apply something along those lines, ignore the trolls and the propaganda, just report them on sight.

Yeah, the México thing is to be expected, we are extremely ignorant when it comes to technology, meta has everyone grabbed by the balls and they hold on to that. Even on reddit the subs have low activity and most are poorly moderated (hell, r/mexico is actively under the control of the political party in power, the users downvote the propaganda, but the mods protect their bots and manipulate the posts).

I'll check the other instances later, as you can see I like keeping my profile empty because I'm too nomadic so it should not be a problem.

If they allow porn, anime, hentai, weed and piracy, I might make the switch, but this usually is the biggest obstacle.
I'm used to the lack of mexican content (except from the propaganda) so that's not a problem.

You have perfectly summed up the biggest annoyance of the fediverse... Finding an instance/server. I'm ready to leave dbzero because I am tired of the ml/hex propaganda and they already stated the server won't defederate from them and blocking the instances doesn't block the users. Cool, not my server and I can't donate so I'll just show myself out when I find somewhere else.

I haven't checked dubvee or cafe, but most instances either block the ones with porn/hentai, weed or the ones with piracy content, so that really limits where I'd like to be.

I kind of want to check pieFed or Mbin, I don't know how much control I can get about blocking entire instances along their users and such, but it may be an answer.

Side note: I know about Mastodon and Pixelfed, already have an account... But I honestly don't care about any of them, their content is not for me.

Care to recommend a server to join?
I swear I'm already getting sick and tired of server-jumping over and over inside the fediverse...

And you have to endure the hex and ml users... yay...

100% yes.
.ml generates most of the propaganda about my country I was complaining about in other post.
Just the fact that their admins also own grad speaks volumes.
It gets tiring having to be on the tolerant side while they can freely astrosurf backed and protected by their admins and devs... Just like the bots on reddit.

If only blocking the instance at user level also blocked the users it would be great.
