Welcome @JackIsSwole to the magical land where nobody is expecting us to babysit other grown ass adults! Folks here have been super kind- if you have questions on functionality, make a post with "<hashtag>help" and someone will point you in the right direction (beginner guide link: https://help.counter.social/en/latest/).
There aren't any bots or algos, trolls are smashed quickly, and should you run into someone not your cup of tea- the mute button is both available and accepted here:)
