Hey folk - making fun of people who find Mastodon difficult and claiming that it "weeds out anyone too stupid to use Mastodon" or "they're too attached to Twitter so their opinion of Mastodon is suspicious" is really not the move.

Firstly, this was the kind of rhetoric that got me infamously racially harassed my first few hours on Mastodon back when it was super new.

Mainly though - it's unneeded superiority, it's ignoring very valid accessibility concerns, and it's just straight up exclusionary.

@creatrixtiara I must admit, this is the first comment about the other place I've bothered opening.

Some of the conversations have been like the person who won't stop going on about their ex or just gatekeepy rubbish I thought we have moved passed.

@Jonoabroad a lot of people JUST moved here. People don't often get over their ex that quickly.
