so like maybe its too late to ask but why is mastodon bad
@skytraffic well personally speaking every time I come on here there’s some drama, and frankly I’m too old and tired for it. Also all the absolute pains in the arse from SJ twitter I’ve got muted/blocked are visible and loud now.
@JYoolz lmao it is a lot of like "quick reminder!!!! calling someone stupid is unforgivable violence and ableism"
@JYoolz some quick rules for men! replying to my selfies is abuse, but so is not faving them
@skytraffic apparently someone was asking for eye contact warnings on animal pics the other day 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@JYoolz i see lots of people being like "it's so much nicer here! no hate!" and it's just made me realise i love hate
@skytraffic haha, there’s such a thing as *too nice* and social justice communities are absolutely riddled with fucking dangers in more ways than one.
@skytraffic I really, really didn’t agree with all the anti-irony, anti-snark, anti-dark humour etc stuff that went on at the start. Uh, I love that sort of humour??? It’s possible to do it w/o punching down ffs, some nuance and perspective please.
@JYoolz yes it is rather joyless, but also horny, so who can say if it's good or bad
@skytraffic lol I have been *kind of* using it like a locked alt ☺️
@skytraffic having said all this, I should maybe make a new instance soon as I see Eugen is bad again and it seems to be quite a serious situation this time. See, that’s another problem, constant drama means serious shit just gets mixed up with petty grudges and things :/
@JYoolz i'm on queer.party too but it's just too much to keep up with, all these different instances
