What’s mastodon actually like community wise?
Every time I venture onto twitter all I see is absolute toxicity. My guilty habit is profile surfing some of these utter looneys, and it’s just incredible how bitter some of the people can be.
I saw one guy who spends his day responding to NBA tweets with shit like “0 rings” to start arguments, and just generally being an arsehole in any way possible…
In my experience, Mastodon is much, much less toxic than twitter!
It's mostly polite, friendly, community-minded folks, & the moderation is a million times more effective than corporate social media, because the mods care about keeping the community healthy, instead of focusing on driving hostile engagement to increase advertising views.
I've interacted with some cranky people, but nowhere near the dedicated trolling you get on twitter, funny or no
