I recognise so many names on Mastodon, including people I fell out during the pandemic sometimes over fairly trivial differences of views.

I often wonder to what extent those conflicts were primarily caused by the toxic nature of twitter.

Anyway, I'm not planning to continue fighting Covid wars on here, and would welcome patching up our pandemic differences with anyone so inclined.

@FBalloux this joke may become true, but not how it was originally imagined…

@zexpe Amusingly, I'm at this particular juncture in the network because I'm importing my block list from the bird site. Each one is an "are they still worth ignoring" re-evaluation. (Now with the option: should I just block the whole server?)

It's curious when the one you blocked explicitly expresses a desire to bury hatchets. But I do not forgive easily. This is the strangest one so far, though.

Very much not how imagined, or written. 😜
