       after (nearly) four years of being on fedi under my own name (and before that five years of much less activity under some other name whatever that was about) i am genuinely surprised that it's the best trans online community i've been able to findthere's so much annoying and harmful stuff going on here—but all the other spaces i've tried to exist in have been even worseidk what it is that does it, but maybe it's the kind of loose and async way that connections work? ignoring, blocking, filtering, creating lists, asymmetric following, and also the ability to just make an alt account with overlapping connections? and instance blocking on some software too. and all of it at user-level, without breaking the community, unlike what real user-level blocking would do to a discord server for example.i've decided i like it :akko_fistup:

       oh and about that, for like my first year of having a jasmine account i was too scared of hurting others to block people, even if they acted horribly. but it wasn't really until i got over myself and started blocking that fedi turned into this relatively nicer experience

       i guess the following won't be relatable to anywhere near everyone, but what made it possible for me to start blocking people in a healthy way, was realising that i'm actually quite insignificant! there's no one on here who NEEDS me in any way that actually matters. i'm just not important enough that i can't block anyone at any time for no good reason at all
