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 Had a new account called "Elon musk" follow me and I did an instant block.

People who are claiming a right to say whatever can do so anywhere but on my feed.

Just like the town square, blocking is the equivalent of walking away.
