@RadiantFlux @stux both being a general instance and being a large instances. But in general people coming in ‘trigger happy’ as conditioned by twitter. To disagree or dislike some doesn’t make them instant bannable (probably not a word). I have seen idiots on Mastodon, but that is no reason to ban. Just trying to avoid as the plague.
@Stephan @stux I am on a small instance, and I think it just works better. My admin is super responsive and has a sense of the sort of community they wants to cultivate.
I think it's hard/impossible to have a coherent group of people when you have 10,000s there.
I think it's a mistake (but it's a free world) to have such big instances on Mastodon in general.
