@epilanthanomai Yes, and I realize now that birdsite acculturation has taught me to duck and cover when a post gets a lot of reach; that usually means I'm going to get a lot of noise, little of it good. So far, things have been pleasant and civil, though.
@roadriverrail I'm glad! My experience has mostly matched yours, though obviously we've all heard people who've had very different experiences, even here on fedi.
@epilanthanomai Yes, indeed, I've seen some threads on the Fedi that look every bit as abusive (and maybe moreso). This is one reason I like that we keep ourselves a small backwater and cut things off at the first sign of trouble.
@roadriverrail@epilanthanomai Another reason why I’m happy to keep an account on Big Instance (where my chaotic post-Twitter niche can be filled), but also here!
