Also mastodon.social the flagship instance really kind of sucks. It has strict rate limiting and poor moderation (gotten lots of follows and follow requests from gross people on there. Also means it’ll usually be Limited by other servers or blocked by their users.
So doesn’t really help with the idea that all of Mastodon isn’t like that.
I think it might depend on what VPN you use, I was able to use it from VPNs and Tor (Tor is kind of slow though). On Tor though it very much struggled to load images and the requests would take longer.
