A lion's share of the people @kissane surveyed responded that they left #Mastodon because they got yelled at, scolded and lectured when they were here. One major source for this appears to be unrealistic expectations for the use of content warnings.
I have been lectured for CWs & for posts that contradicts an "accepted" narrative. I feel surprisingly horrid after each lecture 😅
I like its decentralised nature, but it can get toxic here.

@liztai @kissane
Read this. At first, I was a bit cowed, then I told people to fuck off because they knew where the mute button was. Things changed pretty quickly. And it was nice again.
@DNA @kissane yea I did that when I got a rude message about CW-ing posts about food. I am tired of being nice.
