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 it's like Twitter before it got to big.
@Wetrix From my (2014-2018) and my friends' (~2008-2016) experiences with Twitter, and now Mastodon, Twitter has always been much more toxic, less helpful, and overtly political. Mastodon has a fairly sizable user base and is still friendly, hopefully it stays that way.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat true. I'm hoping it stays that way to.
