We can give them a chance, If we don't like what they post we can at l east block the while thing from our accounts or at instance level.
Problem is the media will end up reporting that this IS mastodon and end up damaging the reputation of everyone here based on their reading one or two posts on one instance.
We had better be ready to fight back and tell people to get their facts right.
"Problem is the media will report this is Mastodon and it will tarnish out reputation"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but normies already think the fediverse is a hive of villainous transphobic racist far right scoundrels who, worse of all, use anime avatars.
So I don't think it will change much.
We tend to think the same thing about facebook, only there is far more evidence of abuse on facebook, and the fact that facebook is denying, I would like to see what this new whstleblower is going to come up with.
Lets make sure our conversations here are of a postive nature,
The only thing I have heard from 1 person that Wil wheaton (who played Wesley) on Star trek came on Mastodon and was subjected to abuse, that is the only negative from so called normies. So far I have seen little evidence of bullying,
People believe anything they want, if they want to find something that is racist, will go look and find the slightest thing that could be seen or interpreted as racist, because they want to find something to justify their opinions.
We have excellent blocking tools on here.
