Since a lot of new people have come on I've noticed a rise in people trying to start arguments. It's as if they carried the toxicity from wherever they came from along with them.

So this is your reminder that you DO NOT HAVE TO ENGAGE with people who are here just to start fights.

Mute them. Block them. Do whatever you have to do to take care of your mental health.

They aren't worthy of your time.

Let's keep Mastodon and the rest of the Fedi a "social" network and not a "toxic" network.

@Mrfunkedude Thanks for the reminder. I totally agree with "block early, block often, block for any reason at all".

But I also find that my feeds (and my own posts) are suddenly much more political and much more angry/sad/all the feels for a very obvious reason. I'm trying to keep that in perspective.
