And my polite criticism of #Mastodon is being greeting with obscenities. What more do you need to know about this ecosystem?

@lauren That's not good. Sorry you have to put up with that, uh, stuff.

@lauren Yes, I can believe that, unfortunately.Mastodon certainly isn't Utopia.

@lauren I won’t give you obscenities, but I will unfollow you. Bye.

@lauren The weird hostility to any criticism, or even frank discussion, of this platform has baffled me since day one here.It's an open platform and protocol for discussion. Expecting people not to discuss it is, well, strange.

@mkarliner @lauren Utopia is nowhere.#CounterRapidBlock is improving the #Fediverse by removing #censorship.The rest however must be done by users: we can create a culture of Open Discussion and thoughtful activity instead of influencer drama.

@lauren The difference (and it's an important one) between this place and twitter is that on Twitter the expression of any opinion on any subject gets you inappropriately hostile responses from strangers. Here, it's more limited. Mostly, it's just opinions about things like whether Mastodon should have a better search feature that are guaranteed to get you that.

@mattblaze Agreed, but that's really just a difference of degree, and not a foundational difference. And it seems to be becoming even less of a difference over time.

@lauren That is unfortunate.I think criticism of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse is essential to maintaining the quality of those.If #Twitter had listened to criticism for the past decade, it would have been less of a pendulum swing to the Musk era.

@lauren I don't know how much longer it will hold, but there is definitely less tolerance for racism and fascist trolling here, and that's still a nice difference.

@lauren @mattblaze Think there are significant differences of degree resulting from the overall incentive structure. Still trolls can have their toots "blow up" through boosts, but the context people see them in it is significantly less incoherent just from overall post length, and instance blocking (incentivized by volunteers wanting less headaches, not employees wanting to maximize engagement) means most people aren't exposed to the worst of it most of the time.

@lauren Condolences. I didn't realize that was the background of the discussion (Mastodon has its own disconnects when it comes to coherence), and you don't deserve that.

@martinvermeer Too many instances openly promote that behavior. That's what they exist for. So no point to reporting.

@lauren Then block those instances. You're the admin of your instance. Think of the other users 🤣

@lauren I love Mastodon but discussion about improvements shouldn’t be treated like that. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that. I may not always agree with everything you say, but I respect you and am always interested
