@sundogplanets …totally tempted to explain to you how to do a proper flow diagram.
[which is humor…btw]
...thinking about this it is an odd trait. There are generally two main types of complaints about Mastodon.
Mainsplaining/intellectual(or other) harassment.
And the difficulty in surfacing content and/or following/locating other users across the various servers.
So...considering both of these...how much damn work are these mansplainers doing to harass people? Seriously, people find something else to do....
I suspect that the continuation of Mastodon being a 'knowitall/mainsplain(or personsplain...it's not totally men)" place is the settling of the exodus from Twitter to the differing platforms with their cultural tendencies (insert other large words). Mastodon basically gathered up that particular facet from twitter and became a certain type of echo chamber/culture where that unfortunate trait is common.
Silence is golden...so is listening...so is thinking first...anyway
