A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.
its so much easier and safe that way
They are totalitarian cowards who aren't nearly as smart as they think they are, and they aren't being trolled so to speak, they're simply getting honest feedback for the first time in their lives
Those that were decent people and could ignore the trolls did just fine. They just are not visible because they're not as loud as the morons.
I agree with this! I've been on Twitter since the early days and I post about war and geopolitics. If anybody is going to be harrassed it's someone like moi. It easy to deal with and the Birdsite of late included tools to restrict comments on posts etc. Methinks many of these folks are used to the echo chamber and some probably need reassurance by the choir. That's my take - It's life, just because we have a new medium doesn't change human behaviour. I'm still on the Birdsite and will be on Mastodon. Different crowds or was until the Birdsite hordes came over. I also agree with the poster who was pondering why they left the walled garden of the Birdsite and came to the Federation where things have always been a bit wild - Think Usenet before it became all spam/UCE!
This isn't hating on them, just wondering why they have to be coddled so much. <shrug>
Oh and @freemo, I appreciate all that you do providing a great server service - You're quite reasonable and I'm sorry that folks have been complaining to you about me. FTR no one complained to me personally about anything I said. :-) I'd like to contribute financially, but will have to wait until the new year to sort things out. Pension is increased next year. ;=)
