Some players are really toxic. Twitter is a peaceful, loving place compared to that. No way I will spend my free time in this game.
There used to be a list of alternative servers, but seems to be gone now :-( Possibly nobody is hosting one any more. I'm tempted to do it myself, but I'm in Japan so the lag would be unacceptable anyway (I'd be playing by myself, which I do anyway...) But it's an option. If you can find a group of people to play with, it can be quite fun just to run on your own server. It takes very little CPU from my experience.

Heck, if you'd be fine with an EU server, contact me, I'd sponsor it, including a short subdomain.
Hackernews is pretty good at this, very seldom I see toxic people here, yet people argue all the time when they dont agree.
This actually makes me curios, what draws you to this heavily moderated forum here?
It was the first or second thread I skimmed. No, thanks.
the game overall has some very interesting features around community and cooperation, and rogue griefers are disincentivised against because the way the game scales seems to inherently require cooperation between strangers.
