Damn it, #Mastodon subculture has a crap reputation and it’s honestly mostly deserved. The HOA nickname tracks. I just can’t figure the space out. There’s anger that people are using #bluesky and #Nostr , there’s a strong hostility toward content creators and influencers. They call people too stupid for calling #Fediverse & Mastodon too confusing. People attack and criticise those that remain on Big Social. A popular minority ran instance was shutdown due to the insane harassment, devs that do anything the people don’t like are relentlessly viscously attacked. Black and Brown people were told to CW their lives racist experiences and when sharing about their #fedi harassment they’re told to digitally segregate and that it can’t be true as others haven’t seen it nor experienced it. Yet, Mastodon is supposedly the nicest of social networks, that’s as big as lie any Trump told this week. I honestly, don’t want any Black and Brown people to come here, not yet anyways

@damon There was a time when I was looking at the anime tag and there was barely any actual discourse about shows.

A lot of it was people mocking particular titles (or elements or genres). I ended up blocking a couple of smaller instances, which I'm not even kidding, marketed themselves as "toxicity free".

I get it. Not every title is everyone's cup of tea. There is a streak of nastiness though which is hard to describe.
