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 I've not received lectures on mastodon etiquette yet. Maybe I'm just not active enough on here and when I am, it'll happen. But I also wonder if, as elsewhere, women get flamed more than men do?
@nickdixon I can't answer that definitively but I do get a lot of condescending replies about how to do basic tech stuff 😄
