Second time in a few days that someone on Mastodon replies to me with attacks, contempt or outrage after just a couple posts, and then blocks me.
I am guilty of replying to their posts uninvited (isn't that what all this is for?), but in all cases my comments were good-intentioned questions or opinions, not ad-hominem or hate.
My ideas may be _wrong_, but I expressed myself well within the norms of respect and civility, and I did mean well.
What's happening? Is intolerance and divisiveness creeping in to #Mastodon too?
@tripu it is just a sign that the mainstream arrives in mastodon. Those are the same *** that you've blocked in twitter 🙃
@tripu Their argument is probably more that pure capitalism fails in those cases, therefore their protest about how these people still have some value.
And I think someone complaining about capitalism probably wants to do so unimpeded.
@tripu It has happened to me before. Whenever someone throws the slightest ad hominem, I block. I have no patience.
I understand that. But it always saddens me to just close the door (or having the door slammed on me) so early into a conversation about something that interests me, or when I think the other person is missing something important…
@tripu
You're responsible for what you put, not how they perceive it. 😁 You'll never get along with everyone, I've been blocked already because I gave my own view on their post, which they didn't agree with.
