It remains mindboggling to me how many people on the other site feel the need to constantly bash Mastodon. I didn't join a bunch of other social media sites, but I didn't feel the desire to mock them either. It's kinda weird, because it includes people I normally get along with as well.
I have never understood why there is so much hatred and disrespect towards the lgbtq+ scene. So people have different views and different perspectives… why not just respect their opinions and simply move on with your life?

@leo does Steve Gibson have a Mastadon handle?
