I 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.”

“Lol, look at you showing your extremism by not liking our culture of Nazi flags at drag shows and people shooting children who ring the doorbell. Woke much, loser?”

Fuck that.

Never consent to pretend that shitbirds are decent people. You don’t have to spend your time throwing elbows at them, but don’t allow yourself to be bad-faithed into thinking that democracy or civility require you to treat shitty morons like they’re normal and acceptable.

@Popehat Agree. I feel that what Mastodon and the greater Fediverse show best of all, beyond decentralised structure, non-corporate ownership etc., is how much better social media becomes for the vast majority of people once it rejects libertarian techbro "freeze peach" platforming of minority extremist views that otherwise end up dominating everything.
