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?
| App wars (e.g. Mastodon vs Misskey, etc.) | |
| Against Bluesky and non-tech savyys ("normies") | |
| Hostility toward any use of AI | |
| Other (please, comment) |
@NatureMC actually, I discovered this term after reading several replies to my posts blaming "normies", mainly when I raise questions about the Fediverse:
"Normies is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who tend to align with mainstream users and popular culture rather than niche communities or specialized subcultures."

Sometimes I few its use in a derrogatorry tone.
@everton137 Thanks for explaining! (My bubble may be "weird", but I never met so many wonderful tolerant non-normies like here!)
@NatureMC Recently, when I mentioned Bluesky or the idea of bringing more people to the Fediverse, I received some angry responses about people who had decided to use Bluesky.
I know lovely people who didn't get used to the Fediverse and now use Bluesky, and I'm upset by such a high level of intolerance towards others' choices.
I was going to create a post about such responses, but I was tired. Hate is generally exhausting.
