Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.

If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.

@caffeneko Mastodon is a reskin of GNUSocial, a social network that catered to people who were banned from everywhere else. Their trolls and nazis were here before us, so still act with care.

Mastodon isn't a troll-free Narnia, it's the the local flea swap meet, so expect that sometimes you're going to see some dubious figures in the corners.

@Almafeta Thank you for the context - if I could edit my post without losing all these comments I would but I think if I edited my post I would orphan all these comments, right?

@caffeneko I'm afraid it would orphan and break the chain.

Seems LiveJournal was the last place on the Internet where the edit button worked.
