To me it feels like the soul of the old internet in the look and convenience of the modern internet. I am not sure if that’s the right assumption since, but I feel like this decentralised, anyone can make a forum and host it and connect to others (fediverse) is what the internet was supposed to be like, a way to share information amongst each other

that explains why I couldn’t make an account there

Because they have community rules? It’s pretty normal for communities and online spaces to have rules and moderate those rules and if you misbehave aka ignore said rules, you get either your comment deleted or banned. Just like in real life, if you are at my house and you don’t follow my rules and just dig holes in my garden or destroy something because it’s fun, I will show you the door. Same goes for online places. The server/instance owner/host etc makes the rules
