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'm new and I was so surprised how lovely the vibe is on here. It's so refreshing!

@JustBobtholomew Just give it some more time. It'll go from "refreshing" to "OMG IS THIS PLACE THE BEST OR WHAT?!?!".

It's a natural progression. 😄

@Mrfunkedude I think I'm already there! I've told so many people about this place, haha 😂
@Mrfunkedude @JustBobtholomew Heh, I will accept this so long as we don't get too complacent when this turns out not to be true (hint: not everyone has the same kinds of experiences as others).
