You know, I haven't used social media a lot in my life. I'm starting to think that maybe joining Mastodon was a bad idea.

The people I find myself interacting with are no less toxic than those on Twitter.

I think I'm just going to stick to QOTO and more or less ignore everyone else.

@Surasanji That's interesting, I only use mastodon as social media and I usually have peaceful, useful interactions.

I use the mute tool quite and only follow nice people though, so that may help.

In any case yeah, #qoto people are nice <3
You may with the same approach see other instances people too, I've yet to see someone from scicomm.xyz who I don't like, for example

@arteteco Yeah dude, maybe I just walked down the wrong path or something.

Truthfully, the majority of my interactions are quite nice. But, damn, I had some really toxic encounters that were just way beyond appropriate.

@Surasanji It can happen, that's true for any human interaction. But you, don't stop posting memes you!
