Mastodawn

If I was to nominate the two things I find most striking about Mastodon they'd be:

1. the ability to edit posts after posting; this (as my followers will know) is a facility that I use a lot (and thanks to my great crew of typo spotters);

2. the norm of civility that we all maintain; of course trolling & slamming is not completely absent, but at least in my timeline & discussions/conversations civility have been the over-riding characteristic of my exchanges.

@ChrisMayLA6 agreed.

Civility tends to be good.

I have had some less civil people. A handful. And while others seem intent on calling on moderators, we have our own agency.

Muting. Blocking.

And I have muted and blocked some. I rarely involve a moderator unless it's about scams or something along those lines.

And the editing...

It's 'goid'. (One of my biggest typos). 🤣
