Which is honestly how it should be, feeding the trolls or tolerating them is detrimental to any platform, even engaging with them to correct them is giving them fuel.

Reporting and blocking is the only way and have always been, I don't know what changed that people decided tolerating/engaging with them was being the better person.

What drove you from dbzer0 to cafe, blocking ml?

Yeah, ml and hex.
Too much mexican goverment propaganda and getting swarmed by those users to defend it, is not a good time.

It takes trial and then error because it's user depend, some people might have gone the opposite, from cafe to dbzer0

I know, and it's a pain... And it will always be a pain. That's also what discourages me from trying piefed, having to server jump until I find a decent one again.

Yeah but usually it's just "try piefed", with a smug tone so it's kind of hard to take people seriously.

Aside from that, adoption becomes a hassle for everything fediverse due to the whole pick your server thing, I went from fmhy to nsfw to dbzero to cafe... I'd be so happy if picking a server would not require so much trial and error.

Here in México we have a say that goes like:

The worst enemy of a mexican is another mexican

You connect the dots
