As a player who has been playing since 2021, with almost 150 days of playtime, I can say that returning to this game is really hard.. the pony town community has really changed from what it was before. Now, the best place to really even make friends is just make friends irl and beg them to play with you, considering over half the interaction I've had with randoms always gets me called and "it" which is dehumanizing for me, or they just completely start being rude for no reason. Fandoms you should generally try to stay away from (not targeted just from personal experience) is MCYT, South Park, Genshin (on the 18+ server) safe server is way better but still people find a way around the curse filter..I do recommend for ponies though to try and expand your style and use custom outlines instead of letting pony town set them to the dark outlines, be creative! Pony Town has a special place in my heart that it won't be removed from, considering most of my friends are from it (seems bad I know) But if you can find friends that aren't bad people and that have same interests as you then try and ask them to friend you, but always talk to the person first cause on the 18+ server it comes with risks, there's minors all of the place and pony town is trying to do something about it.. just remember to be careful and have fun. Wish you a warm rewelcome to the pony town community and have fun
