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.

This is an international fediVerse how do we put that into context?

@jesuisatire @kissane I have no idea lol. Are you saying that internationals are not as concerned about CW posts? I am ok with that personally. I don't think we should impose CW on anyone.

International as in "spanisch language mastodon", "german language mastodon" are not.
English is "the" international language. Not using hashtags or specifying the country, especially in english or spanish is very annoying.
People from Spain do that, and people from the US.
Latinos normally mention the country the issue is about, even people from the UK but US is like "every De Santis fart is an international problem"!
🤣
