Its crazy to me how less toxic Mastodon is versus Twitter. Like I used twitter for four years and that community was filled with toxicity, death threats, and doxxing. You come to Mastodon and it's like people explaining the platform to newbies, supporting other users, teaching people basics of privacy and security, etc.
Its just weird how much the platform varies with the attitude of its users.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat I agree. Free speech lives here even if you don’t agree with it.
@Lordimpala Exactly. While sometimes it wouldn't hurt to have a little more platform moderation (such as trying to cut down on racism, sexism, terrorism threats, things of that nature), it is certainly the most free speech enabling platform that I've ever seen.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat I agree with not having illegal material. It’s a slippery slope with racism or sexism. If it’s directed at a person, and it becomes harassment. Then no.
