Do people seriously not understand how much gatekeeping there is in the statement "you need to understand the #culture of the #fediverse [before you should be here]"?
The Culture of the Fediverse™ is by design and necessity something that can and should evolve. If it is going to succeed it must evolve.
You can't say "everyone is welcome here" and then turn around and say "but only if you adjust to a set of cultural expectations that no one will explain to you or write down."
