So. Three folks I follow are echoing pretty much the same sentiment I've been trying to express and are spending less time here.
I'll preface with a reminder that you may very well feel my opinions are bunk. I am a successful YouTuber, after all, with all the privileges that entails.
But here's the brass tacks: it's harder for me to be here comfortably than it was on the birdsite. And to be honest, I think Mastodon's always gonna be this way.
@TechConnectify It's so painful to see / hear this. It's even more embarrassing to see that some people don't even have the slightest social decency to at least not be hostile in this very thread. Mind-boggling.
I can't speak to how this compares to Twitter, how bad the situation is for accounts with more followers, let alone have any solutions. It's just a shame to see that people have a bad time on the platform that I personally generally feel at home. 😔
