The others gave you a decent rundown.

I'm certainly not meaning to imply that you did anything wrong signing up with .world, it's just somethjng to be aware of. This is actually the first time I've made this suggestion, I honestly don't know how most people feel about this, so actually maybe it was a bit much to dump on a newcomer. If so I apologise.

One thing I forgot about was that being on .world means you do miss out on a lot of piracy related stuff if you're into that.

Also though, you can read about a given instance and its policies and values when you visit it. That often says a lot about the kinds of people you'll meet there.
