I've now been here in the Fediverse regularly for well over a month and a half. I have thousands of followers, and I follow thousands. I have not yet seen a single troll, nor even a belligerent person or post. Not a single one. The most offensive thing I've experienced is a point of view I disliked seeing boosted too often. If we've all learned the price of incivility, maybe we really can make this Fedi thing work. It can't hurt to try, right?

@shoq This perspective seems off, based on the experience that I've seen black folks on the fedi talking about - entire instances have been trolled off the fedi, many black users get nothing but racism in their comments.

its worth seeking out some other views here, not everything is roses.
