Mastodawn

Ryan Schultz Dec 30, 2022

I’m not sure if my follow requests are *ANY* kind of barometer of how Mastodon is changing with the recent influx of new users, but within the past 24 hours, I got the following two requests:

1) from a guy whose most recent post was essentially a complaint that not enough people were following him, accompanied with a picture of a naked woman (I blocked him); and

2) from a member of the clergy, whose entire timeline (100%) was proselytizing for his particular brand of religion (I declined).

I have a somewhat sinking feeling that we’re seeing more, shall we say, problematic people making the migration over here.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how the complainers, proselytizers, and (God help us) “influencers” will adjust to a completely different environment from the birdsite and the facesite… I mean, how well will Mastodon stand up to undesirable or unsociable behaviours? Open to hear your war stories and your opinions!

@ryanschultz The most egregious migration of twitter culture has to be the wannabe cops trying to lock down the fediverse behind block lists and server level moderation.
