If I was to nominate the two things I find most striking about Mastodon they'd be:
1. the ability to edit posts after posting; this (as my followers will know) is a facility that I use a lot (and thanks to my great crew of typo spotters);
2. the norm of civility that we all maintain; of course trolling & slamming is not completely absent, but at least in my timeline & discussions/conversations civility have been the over-riding characteristic of my exchanges.
Be the Example You Want Our Politicians to Be
Internal party politics is beset with a psychopathic culture. It is hard for many people to be in that culture, so they don't participate.
With the TDG, you can participate more collaboratively. You will enjoy solving problems in this way:

Book Chapter in Civility Unbound
The idea of civility is predicated on a well-structured society that has norms that should benefit everyone. This essay questions whether such a society exists in the United States and whether what we call “civility” is simply a euphemism for “control.”

A judge says U.S. immigration agents in Oregon must stop arresting people without warrants unless they are likely to escape. U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai issued the preliminary injunction Wednesday. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by a nonprofit law firm representing a man who was detained by immigration officers without a warrant despite having a valid work permit. In a memo last week, the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement emphasized that agents should not make arrests without an administrative arrest warrant issued by a supervisor unless they develop probable cause to believe the person is likely to escape from the scene.
Every action done in company ought to be done with some sign of respect to those that are present.
