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?

@everton137 the "hateful discourse" on the fediverse is not augmented by algorithms. so it is just pure normal human communication within groups. it is only augmented by people who thrive on hateful posts, either because they love being hateful or because they love to show others how bad some things are they have found in their timeline and feel compelled to share hateful posts: professional complainers. luckily both types of people do not have the reach of the algorithms on the commercial platforms. so their communication tends to evaporate.

what i personally hate is how the twits swamped the fediverse some years ago and tried to impose their twits-behaviour on everybody already present claiming that only they knew how to correctly communicate in a social network environment ...

@jabgoe2089 Recently, I saw an announcement that a prominent European politician had joined Mastodon. Several comments were full of hate and related to some of the options above.

I actually have no idea what "the correct way to communicate" means. I saw a reply to my post criticising people who try to teach others the 'correct way' to communicate on Mastodon, which I have noticed happening occasionally.

For example, how many times have I seen people insisting that someone should add hashtags to their posts? I use hashtags myself, but I also follow some very interesting profiles that don't use them at all.

i don't know what politician you are referring to, but this behaviour is just normal! nothing out of the ordinary, i'd say. but if someone feels that there are too many of those people in their timeline they should start to get rid of them.

this stuff with hashtags is one of the twits' behaviours i was referring to. i has a meaning within mastodon, and also within diapora, but outside it has not. i cant follow hashtags from hubzilla since mastodon has recreated the hashtag stuff with complete disregard of the already existing solutions in the fediverse, if i am to believe some of the devs' posts i saw.

you'll always get people to tell you what is right and proper to do according to their valuable opinion. and then it is up to you alone if you follow the advice/command or if you ignore it.

lots of people show a tendency to act up as a blockwart (don't know how to translate that). and me, personally, i tend to ignore  them the more apodictical they act ...

far too long a text ....

@jabgoe2089 I must confess I laughed out loud by reading this comment on Reddit. The person supposed I created the poll because I'm having troubles on how to use Mastodon, so it was decided to explain the correct way to use it.😂

I created the same poll on Reddit to compare the results and comments with the poll on my microblog.
