One person's "toxicity" is another person's reality.
The degree to which one can choose to weed out toxicity often involves privilege.
For so many of us newcomers (and I still count myself among them, although I've already been here seven months), we are in a sort of "honeymoon period", where everything can seem fresh and exciting and new. But many communities (LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Jews, scientists) are already being abused on this platform. The honeymoon is already over for them.
We must work together to do everything we can to make Mastodon a safe, welcoming space for a diverse community, which means having hard conversations NOW.
A little known feature of #Mastodon is the ability to create your own personal notes about an account.
This is a great way to potentially remind yourself why you follow particular accounts (or just about any other reason you can think of).
Also, these notes are private. The account does not know what you have written down, nor the fact that you have even made these notes.
Please #boost to help spread the knowledge around your networks. ☺️

Very clear, well-researched article. There is abundant evidence that there is no such thing as immunity to Covid, and Masks 😷 Work. #covid19awareness #CovidIsNotOver #MasksWork #maskwearer #MaskUp
