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 I honestly think social media taught people that it’s ok to argue/bully/harass/dox/send threats/anything of the sort like that to people because they are hiding behind a screen and can easily get away with it because they will never say/do any of those things to your face. I came across some toxic/ignorant people on this app but not enough for me to mass block and report anyone. But otherwise, I agree with you. This applies to other apps too. It needs to be said till it’s understood
