I don’t think that single troll is representative of the broader culture on SDF, although SDF’s admins are notably absent in terms of moderating the instance at an admin level, which is how trolls there tend to stick around for a long time, only ever getting banned from communities.
Whenever I’ve pushed back about qrstuv I’ve been informed by sdfers that it is part of the instance culture, but perhaps they’re in on the troll as well
They might be. I suspect I know who it was who told you that, unfortunately the lack of admin involvement means some pretty nasty people flourish there, including people who on any other instance would’ve been completely banned. I remember there was a neonazi who joined a while back and it was like pulling teeth to get the SDF admin to actually ban that piece of shit from the instance.

qrstuv bans people for using abbreviations, but uses abbreviations themself. I will never understand the instance culture of sdf

Weird place either way, but nice to have some insight
