In the short time I’ve been on #Mastodon, I’ve seen admins ban people who have a history on Twitter for plagiarism, sexual harassment and toxicity.

The lesson learned for me is that we shouldn’t put up with the same crap that we did on #Twitter.

@hstarshot I love that this place doesn’t allow the nonsense.

It makes me wonder why we stayed on the other place for so long.

@hstarshot I know I certainly won't put up with it.
@hstarshot so you’re for or against #mastodon ?
@indubitablydubin This was a pro-Mastodon post. 👍🏻👍🏻
@hstarshot You mean a social platform that treats everyone equal? That's what I'm here for.
@hstarshot And it is getting really crappy.
@hstarshot. wish mstdn.party would ban porn. Seen more here than I've ever seen in my life.
@hstarshot It’s time we start to show the MAGA leaning crowd that inclusion and freedom of expression don’t come with malintent. You don’t hug the person that continually screams fire when he comes to the party, nor should you tolerate the Nazi who marries the prostitute. #CriticalThinker
@bysteveguthrie Agree, I’m pro debate with people of different political ideologies. However there are bad actors out there and there is no need to “try again” once we know they have bad intent.
@hstarshot
I had a person who wanted to Follow me, and I was given an unasked-for alert that I might want to block him. Mastodon was correct. I feel protected, and I love that.
@Liga @hstarshot
Agree! That person alert was for someone very dark and actually frightening.
@PeggyJoan @hstarshot that's kinda scary. But it's reassuring that they flagged it
@PeggyJoan @hstarshot Very interesting! I’ve heard a few similar stories. Thankfully I haven’t experienced any trolls that I’m aware of!

@hstarshot

Not that I'm personally affected, but Mastodon actually checks the Twitter history of all who registers with a given server? That's an awful lot of work given the size of the #twittermigration.

@SharonGibson3 @hstarshot

I haven't seen this. I suppose it's possible on individual servers. I don't think the big ones care, other than that you behave while using that site.
