Mastodon is only a decent community because we actively maintain it. If you see harassment, especially men targeting women, don't just scroll past. Call it out and report it. Let's keep the space clean. Take out the trash.

@terminaltilt Can we apply that to the entire network, please?
According to your statement, 50% of the Fediverse is crap.
Which either means I'm crap because I don't use Mastodon, or you have no idea about this network.

I would prefer the latter, that you have no idea about the Fediverse.

@crossgolf_rebel @terminaltilt my dude, absolutely nothing in that post even hinted that the parts of fedi that don’t use mastodon are crap. stop trying to victimize yourself.

@juliette But it says something else.
Leaving out the rest of the Fediverse implies exactly that, that only the good guys use Mastodon.
And, I didn't write this differe

@crossgolf_rebel @juliette @terminaltilt ???

The post talks exclusively about Mastodon. Leaving out the rest of the Fediverse doesn't imply anything.

You are making stuff up.

@goedelchen How does the author know for sure that all the users he addresses use Mastodon?
Mastodon is the only service in the Fediverse that deliberately does not display the origin (service used) of replies.

The statement made is just as false as claiming that “my Thunderbird mail contacts” are the best. It doesn't matter what other software they were written with.

This conversation does not become a “Mastodon conversation” just because you are reading the post.

The above statement becomes even more inconsistent when one considers that thruthSocial is also Mastodon.

@crossgolf_rebel @goedelchen @terminaltilt did you misread the original post? The author does not say "the ONLY decent community is mastodon" but rather "mastodon is A decent community".
This is as if someone told you "my city is a nice place to live" and you interpreted that as "every other place on earth is shit". That is not the intent of the author, but rather your own interpretation.

@juliette That's exactly the point.
Where and how can the creator differentiate that the community he is referring to uses only Mastodon as access?

There are two possible interpretations, and that's what I'm getting at.
Either he means the entire Fediverse, but doesn't say so because he has no idea what that means.

Or

He really is making a distinction and only means the users who use Mastodon. Which would again mean that the users who use Mastodon are better than those who don't use Mastodon, i.e., 50%.

I consider the entire Fediverse network to be one of the best inventions, regardless of the access software used, and that's how it should be described. Anything else leads to misunderstandings and false attributions.

Again, it is technically impossible in this network to separate posts according to the software used to create them. It is all one and should be named as such. Not doing so is discrimination against other services. For whatever reason. And in most cases, it is unawareness.
