Isn't it kinda weird that #Mastodon gets described as 'left-leaning' because we handle more strickt rules and don't tolerate things like bullying.. It could be me but I perceive this as 'normal'.

I mean you don't call people all kinds of names in a conversation on the street or in the store right? Even if you don't agree🤔

Somehow it feels the (online) standards for treating each other have declined so much over the past few years  

Let them talk, we are a loving and happy community!

@stux #Mastodon is the first "social network" I have had any interest in actively participating for years now — everywhere else I have just lurked. It is amazing what these communities have achieved and I hope much of the culture can be preserved even with the influx of new users (like myself).
