Gregory's Server@thekitmalone One of the best things about Mastodon is that it is not for the sort of people you'd want to block in the first place.

 @alexanderhay @thekitmalone Agreed, which is why I'm much more free with the block button than I ever was in the other place. Block block blockity blockity block. On Brirbsite I felt I had to put up with a certain degree of arseholery. I don't here. @alexanderhay @thekitmalone for now. But if it is going to grow bigger, at some point it will need to reach the types of people that you don’t want here.   @alexanderhay @ix9 @thekitmalone Exactly. There is no way this place needs to make the far right, transphobes, antisemitic cranks, Tate fans, etc. welcome in order to succeed. It's a massive selling point that they aren't. |
@alexanderhay it's generally friendlier right now, although I've had a few run ins with hate speech and trolls already. (Fewer than anywhere else.)
I do think that it's inevitable that it'll get worse if the user base grows. But I don't think it'll ever be as bad as traditional social media just on account of the fact that moderation here is a lot more directly accountable to users.
