@gamingonlinux Oh, yeesh. I saw what I think was your last toot vanishing before my eyes. Didn't think it was the whole acc

Frankly I’m tired of online life, especially the Mastodon cops *cough* sorry the Fediverse cops, everyone instantly hating on each other, asking for help on something and getting hate in reply etc etc.

@gamingonlinux Haven't seen that at all myself. Surprised to hear it actually. Only type of Fediverse/Mastodon specific posts I have seen are explainers and guides.

@gamingonlinux Sorry this has happened to you. I've only ever saw this strange behavior from other platforms, not so much from here myself.

@gamingonlinux The only, ONLY place on the Internet (that is excluding Gemini) where I've felt comfortable and with no dramas is Tumblr, I would recommend anyone to create a Tumblr account, the grass is greener outside

@gamingonlinux can you please tell us a little bit more? What kind of negative experiences you had?

@gamingonlinux It's tricky... Often people will get a wrong or not right impression, and if there isn't a willingness to help to get that straightened out, it can get right terrible. Even when it maybe could work very well, if even *one* person would willingly back off... But honestly, it seems to happen rarely. But it's worth giving a try, to have those rare times...

@gamingonlinux I guess having a big follower base comes with the curse of also getting some bad apples to ruin your day every time you try to give your opinion.

@kcseb it’s comments like yours that make me want to nuke this account too, go away 👍

@gamingonlinux Times like this are why I'm glad I only manage to aquire small followings everywhere I go. As soon as you get into values of 10's of thousands complete asshats become a part of daily life.

And then i get replies like this. And Mastodon doesn’t really have much filtering to help with this but unhelpful fucks like this can take a long walk off a short bridge tbh

@gamingonlinux my recommendation is to be liberal with your blocks, but I understand that it gets stressful over time, especially since these are people with obviously nothing better to do with their lives than be obnoxious ticks looking for some visibility at the expenses of passionate workers like you.

Anyway I’ll probably just go back to sharing news and stuff and interacting less personally because people online are constantly terrible when you have any kind of following and it constantly burns me out 👍

@gamingonlinux i’ve resorted to only being personal when it comes to one-on-one interactions; i won’t be too personal in terms of my posts, but i’ll reply and DM as such

@gamingonlinux sorry to read you're getting upset about some misbehaving onliners who probably did not get proper education and/or love and care, but as my physics teacher used to say, the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on. I made that my everyday mantra and now you can too 🙌 take care and keep going 👍

@gamingonlinux That sucks. It's annoying that a smallish chunk of loud people mean we can't have nice things.

@gamingonlinux I have always followed you because you're great. I'm sorry these things are happening to you.
Gardiner Bryant
@gamingonlinux you are a wonderful person and I have nothing but good things to say about you. Don't worry about what others think, though. They're usually wrong.

@gamingonlinux Sad to hear about your experience 😞 but it`s completely undersnatdable.
Paul Taylor
@gamingonlinux Even though I’ve not been on the receiving end of it, it still makes me sad that this shit is here. I was hoping to get away from that after moving from Twitter.

@gamingonlinux fwiw I like your online presence and content a lot :) I've seen other cool folks driven off this platform already and I hope you don't follow suit.
Sadrien
@gamingonlinux Unfortunately the most negative people tend to be the loudest. Just know that we're all following you because we like what you talk about. You are one of my favorite people on the internet as your content is informative and oddly calming in the maelstrom of clickbait. 
NO PULSE
@gamingonlinux I find that having any sort of opinion on that game is going to either bring out real or fake outrage. Some May actual have issues, others just want to troll because it’s a topic they can have fun with. Sorry you ended up in that mess. 
Niklas Rosenqvist
@gamingonlinux sorry to hear that! For what it's worth, I really appreciate your reporting and the content that you've posted on your personal account. It's really odd how some people behave online  |
@gamingonlinux Good luck! Maybe some space and time will help you get some balance back.
