@greyor @emsenn So far I have come across a lot of people too in my online journeys over the years! Mastodon seems to have a pretty strong collection of people who don’t feel like they fit in other places. But I feel like if you want a small community of people who agree with you without outside commentary, there are social platforms far better suited to that. (Discord, IRC, closed web forums). Mastodon is wide open - saying “butt out of my club!” feels misguided here to me.

@emsenn @greyor Not at all! But if I’m, say, a furry or own a real doll or some other thing on the far end of the societal bell curve and I post on an open online forum about that, I’m not surprised if others pop their head in and say either stupid things (blocked!) or things that disagree (conversation!). Because if I didn’t want that I’d not have my conversation out loud in a public space! 1/2
