I won’t lie, I’m not super optimistic about the future of #Mastodon
On top of obvious feature issues (such as the lack of quote posts, even though it’ll be addressed soon), Mastodon has a massive culture issue
Unless your use perfectly fit with how the so-called Fedipolice uses it, you’re taking the risk of receiving massive abuse from said Fedipolice
It’s unwelcoming, and rooted in privilege: "Mastodon isn’t a replacement for #Twitter, except for me"
@osc Right, but there are racist dickheads everywhere, not just Mastodon. Isn't that what blocking and reporting is for?
@LouisIngenthron For sure. But the abuse wasn’t from Nazis. It was from people lecturing other people on how Mastodon should be used.
@osc Okay, well, if they're genuinely being abusive, racist or not, then they should still be reported+banned.
But if they're just being their normal mute-able annoying, then why bring race into the discussion?
@LouisIngenthron It depends on who you’re asking this question to
I’ve read countless Black folks explaining the (sometimes horrific) abuse they received on here, in the name of "properly using Mastodon"
