I might not be understanding something about the fediverse, but isn't this like if you couldn't send or receive email from a friend because you use gmail Google decided to block @icloud domains?

Like, you're not forced to follow or interact with it, and are free to block it if you can think of a reason to, I just don't see why such an open platform used to limit users in this way

Well, this was extremely disappointing. Only one person had a helpful reply, pointing to this link explaining the basics, a couple others vaguely gestured about their distaste of Meta, and everyone else demonstrated an even lesser understanding of the fediverse than I had started with. One particular flat-earther just called me a slag and posted a screenshot of themselves downvoting all my comments.

"Everyone disagrees with me, that is insane because I am clearly smarter than them all. Why won't all you idiot people agree with me?!"

All of your comments in one reductive nutshell.

You seem to have low self-awareness. Do you happen to be autistic?

When did anyone disagree with me? Using "autistic" as a pejorative is more revealing oof your character than mine. Good luck!
