Sure, Mastodon is a lil glitchy sometimes, and there are definitely fediverse-wide moderation and UX issues to work out, and sometimes the server has to take a lil nap. Still, this is the first time in ten years (as a person who had well over 100k Twitter followers) that I haven’t gotten hit on then insulted in DMs, dealt with my family being OSINTed and threatened, been yelled at for not producing more content for free, or been called a unrepeatable slur during a whole week since 2014 or so. Plus most of my pals are here!
It is also the first time I haven’t been physically sick from going down negative news rabbit holes thanks to the algorithm for a whole week.
It’s pretty good from my perspective. I’m scared for my “brand” and therefore future income, but I don’t want to go back.
Everyone who has been calling LGBTQ people "groomers," trying to ban LGBTQ books, attacking drag brunches, and calling us predators finally got the LGBTQ massacre they've worked so hard for.
That includes every vile politician who pandered to these monsters. #ClubQ
I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.
An attack upon our community anywhere is an attack upon us all everywhere. My heart is with the victims and their families.
