@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 2/2 Racists similarly are at the terminus end of the bell curve (though are scarily working their way up the hill), and unlike many other things at the flat end of the curve, their opinions are *not* benign or moral or okay - and when they post on public forums it’s equally frustrating when they say “stay outta my club!”. Because it’s not a club, it’s a worldwide social network broadcast openly to everyone!
