Men I don’t know have been yelling at me for about 24 hours about how I am promoting toxicity and misinformation and am a narcissist and a bully in replies to my short thread about how it would be super nice to have control over replies here. To give people who for some reason don’t find people yelling at them to be the highest form of online communication a way to participate in public life online.
Many perfectly reasonable comments agreeing and disagreeing, but like…lordy.

When I first got #OnHere I kept trying to boost WOC who were talking about how notifications are a mess on Masto, I got low-key cussed out by a number of high-profile accounts, telling me that I was shilling for Musk & Zuck & Jack by suggesting that things about Feditown could be improved.
Folks trying to figure out why every town isn't Fediville yet - ya looked at that? Sure, the "Fedi-" branding ain't great, but among the branding problems going on here, that's not even top 20
