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 sometimes people in the US absolutely do call people on the streets and even in their own homes a bunch of names in a conversation about politics. But most of the people who instigate that (but by no means all) are right-leaning.

@odanu @stux All depends on the culture in the area. I'm left leaning and have been completely repulsed by some of the insults thrown by my further left leaning friends. You really saw that come into light between the Hillary and Bernie primaries.

@ckenshin @stux I absolutely said "most" and not "all" for a reason. 😉
