Ken WhiteI realized what makes Mastodon, and Bluesky, and Post, and Notes seem so odd. It’s the complete absence of the “if you won’t pretend this shit sandwich is sirloin it shows how biased you are/how much Trump broke you/what an echo chamber you’re in.”
Jeff C. 🇺🇦🇬🇱@Popehat One of the things I like here is the complete absence of “virtue signaling” as a pejorative, mockery of socially-redeeming behaviors (like wearing masks during a pandemic, showing support for a nation actively undergoing genocide, etc), and the complete rejection of earnest decency as something to aspire to.
This place isn’t perfect by any means, but I want to exist in a world where being kind and decent isn’t seen as weakness.
