Wow. Two-ish days of mildly active posting and I get a trans- and homophobic reply on a post that has nothing to do with either. I NEVER get that on the birdsite and I have a pretty healthy following plus getting into a ton of good trouble there. This isn't a good look.
@War_Kittens I got it on the bird app all the time so you’re very lucky 😭 but the good news is that here you can block entire servers, so if there’s a server aimed at harassing people, jus block em all. I’ve blocked 2 whole servers already.
@angel_ponders @War_Kittens huh.. been here just little more than a week and everybody's so nice I'm afraid we're gonna burst singing out kumbayah soon.
Hang in there though, it could be a fluke or at most growing pains as instance admins figure out how to squash the trolls.
@mikrolet @War_Kittens but also, I just generally attract people who want to be mean for some reason 🥲 I look like an easy target I guess 😭 on websites where blocking is useless (Reddit) it sucks way worse.
@angel_ponders @mikrolet I come across really masc and I dunno, just a certain way that people don't generally fuck with me so it's just weird to see it. I would share all my don't fuck with me energy if I could!
@mikrolet @War_Kittens my guess is trolling from people who want to “prove” this place is “as bad” as the bird app. But I’m not going to let them do that. I’m staying here a while and blocking the trolls.
