I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.

It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.
It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.
Great job everyone.
Twitter has seemed to be a dumpster fire for a long time, highlighting the worst in how people relate to each other. Will those leaving Twitter for the fediverse stick it out here? Will they bring the worst of Twitter with them?
There are ways to interact here that don't create the same relational trash heap that Twitter often felt like to me. I've had cordial interactions with people across the spectrum here. Looking forward to connecting with new joins and hoping for the best.

A couple stories about AOC and her "arrest"
https://grrrgraphics.com/the-drama-queen-aoc/
First Ben Garrison has a cartoon that notes the cop doesn't want to date her.

Second, "Not the Bee" has a great collection of tweets that mock the whole situation. The last one from the "Babylon Bee" is pretty good as well.

People are so judgmental. I can tell just by looking at them.
