Top-level
 @danbrotherston I have no doubt my experience on Twitter wasn't universal: I didn't take on much if any advocacy role, and my identity as "YouTube guy" generally isn't marginalized (though, golly, it feels like it is here!). But really the key difference is probably just my following size. Most tweets would get dozens of replies - the filter was going to be more aggressive for me than the average Twitter user, I'm sure. 3 comments | Expand all CWs
I mean, I don't think that should be difficult to empathize with, but humans be human...empathy is something we all struggle with... Not that I have solutions, but don't think it gets solved without the kind of filtering that most of masto seems idologically opposed to...I wish that was less an ideological bent here. FWIW...it's nice this is an open platform, someone could build a solution...but so far it doesn't seem that anyone has. |

@danbrotherston Which also explains why I have such a huge (and awkward) disconnect when trying to convey my problems, here.
I am understandably difficult to empathize with. Who care about big youtuber problems? This isn't their space.
But even if somebody is nice enough to care, they probably just don't experience the things I'm experiencing. So their advice, though well-meaning, is pretty useless and annoying to hear ad nauseum.
