Last night I read some of the timelines of the nasty comments I received before blocking them. Astonished by some things said on twitter. Astonished. Why do some ppl just use it to abuse others. What happened to actually contributing?

Historians actually have a word for people who pal around with nazis and that word is nazi

So far I feel as though Mastodon is giving me 70% or 80% of what I liked about Twitter and pretty close to 0% of what I didn’t like.
