Some people think that Mastodon isn’t a social network but some sort of finishing school or re-education camp.
So fucking weird.

@thomasfuchs wait, I NEED to see what you're talking about, Like are they just confused about the name?
@zperretta No, they think it’s a way to change people into “being more considerate” and “nicer”.
Interestingly they do this by gatekeeping and trying to force their ideas onto others (like chastising people for not writing alt text, etc.)
@extremelyuncanny @zperretta There's a great German word for this, "Spaßbremse" which translates as "fun brake".
@thomasfuchs Oh ok, Yeah I've noticed that... I think I've also seen that on Reddit, and with the more "Enthusiastic" Linux users
@zperretta @thomasfuchs I won’t lie the Venn diagram of these users would be almost a circle. Mastodon is a neat platform and I like it but the zealots demanding a purity from the user base are a bit much
