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 depends on the server you join and what are the rules. Try to stay family-friendly, it will help a lot

But see, there you go. WHY should I have to be "family-friendly". I'm a family man but I don't feel the need to be "family-friendly". What does that even MEAN? Puritanical mores? No thanks.

@DNA @Coffee_cmd @kissane I am not sure where this instance specific idea comes from, but most of the people who are rude and condescending did not come from hachyderm.io but other servers.

Oh yeah, they were from all over, but I don't recall where from and I'm not calling out ANY instance. I'm calling out the moral police.

@DNA @Coffee_cmd @kissane and they don't follow me too, which means they were hunting for posts via hashtags, which makes me wonder that's what they do - look for posts that are out of line and call them out.

Make a game of it. THANK them for calling themselves out to you so you can preemptively block them. LOL.
