Mastodawn

Christopher Mims Mar 8, 2023

Media literacy reminder to myself:

Just because Mastodon is still relatively small and has a relatively high barrier to entry and its community moderation works pretty well doesn't mean there isn't still a lot of stuff on here that has to be taken with a grain of salt.

As in any town square, there are issues where there is NORA (no one right answer) and where productive inquiry / debate is required. (As ever.)

@mimsical Couldn't agree with you more. So much with life and the associated discourse should be placed in the file "Agree to disagree" . If more people simply accepted each others differences without needing to change the view of others, life would be simpler. I expect it is a consequence of democracy (which we all cherish) and also social media that turns everyone into campaigners causing disagreements to spin out of control.
