Which type of hateful discourse on the #Fediverse do you find most off-putting?

Big tech platforms often amplify conflict and outrage. The Fediverse aims to be different, but some recurring behaviors can still discourage people from participating.

Which one bothers you the most?

#BigTech #SocialMedia #HateSpeech #Bluesky #AI

App wars (e.g. Mastodon vs Misskey, etc.)
Against Bluesky and non-tech savyys ("normies")
Hostility toward any use of AI

@everton137 Against developers trying to build some services that somehow extend or interact with the Fediverse, see e.g. the Searchtodon drama, Content Nation, the attack on the Bridgy Fed developer before launching the bridge to Bluesky, Holos Discover last month, and so on

@mackuba I didn't know most of those examples. I'm curious now and will check them out. I've already seen criticism of the Bridgy Fed, which I think is good.

I usually invite people to use Mastodon, but some prefer Bluesky, we can still interact, though.

@everton137 Searchtodon here: https://searchtodon.social/Adventures-in-Mastoland.html

Content Nation: https://wedistribute.org/2024/03/contentnation-mastodons-toxicity/

Holos mentioned here: https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr154-search-and-community/

Bridgy Fed github comments thread from the launch announcement (where at some point the dev was told he's acting like a rapist by building the bridge and should go to therapy): https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/835

😕

@mackuba "the dev was told he's acting like a rapist by building the bridge and should go to therapy"

WTF.

@everton137 One thing that often happens in those cases is that people misunderstand how something works and get angry at their understanding of how it works… so a lot of people in that thread imagined that Bridgy is meant to somehow hoover up all data from the whole Fediverse into its own database and stream it all into Bluesky, or something like that. Which would definitely be a very unwelcome thing, but that was never how it was meant to work…
