   I have to be honest: I have received more abuse here than I ever did on Twitter, and it’s getting increasingly common, which goes to prove what I said a few years ago: it’s not the platform, it’s the people.

     @josemanuel abuse from which side if I may ask? blocking the offenders or their instance did not help?

     @josemanuel it's also the platform because unlike on twitter here i can call you a nigger piece of faggot kike shit and your best course of action would be to ignore me, you can't report me, and blocking me would be a public L because most instances have blockbots that display when you get blocked by someone
     the less jannies you have on the platform, the more you can call people niggerfaggots without consequences

     @FrailLeaf @josemanuel yea his admin is surprisingly fair for someone who cries while masturbating and fists women, he didn't defederate eientei or suspend my account on qoto's end despite blocking me on his own account

     @kaia They usually block me first. It’s usually the kind of people who, when faced with polite disagreement, reply with an insult, then block and subtoot.

     In the rare cases when they don’t block me, I usually mute them (with or without mentions, depending on how annoying they are).

     @FrailLeaf @josemanuel yea, but you have to admit, with how fake the most vocal poast users are, it's only fitting the admin is the biggest grifter and fake faggot on the instance

     @lina @josemanuel what's more pathetic is his users willfully ignoring how much of a grifter he is. They're literally his slaves

     @josemanuel i really mean the entire network as a whole, because unless your admin is rapidfire blocking every new instance that breaks your rules, you WILL see someone say nigger and you WILL have someone try to troll you or try to get a rise out of you some other way, there's no escaping it without unironically enforcing whitelist federation or following ever-so-updating blocklists that honestly defeat the purpose of federation
     as for the goals, well, i don't think fedi has any goals here, it's just a crazy network full of crazies, it's not a corporate project to make money, as far as i'm aware

     @lina When I say the platform, I don’t mean the moderation policy. Depending on the instance you’re in, you may or may not say that.

     What I mean by “the platform” is the platform’s goals. When people moved from Twitter in 2022, they came here saying how awful it was that the platform gave prominence and visibility to certain accounts because confrontation was good for it.

     I called that bullshit because 1) if something made me angry or depressed, I wouldn’t be interacting with it, and that lack of interaction is bad for business. And 2) most platforms allow one to curate their experience, Twitter included. If you see stuff that makes you angry and you feel the need to respond and escalate, that’s on you.

     @josemanuel depends on what kind of dickhead
     the ones on twitter are just autonomous drones that think their life means something when they go out and harass anyone who goes against the widely accepted agenda
     people here just do it for lulz and as a form of gatekeeping, if you can handle it gracefully, you'll make friends even

     as for the goals, well, i don’t think fedi has any goals here, it’s just a crazy network full of crazies

     That’s my point: there’s no algorithm psyopping them to be dickheads. They just are.

     @josemanuel let's be honest any platform like fedi would be better than twitter or an equivalent corporate owned platform solely because it's not corporate owned and if you can't find a good instance, you can host your own
     but i always found it hilarious that the twitter refugees are like "MASTODON IS BETTER CUZ THERES NO NAZIS" and then they cope with "ACKSHUALLY THE NAZIS FOLLOWED US HERE FROM TWITTER!!" like my brother in Christ you literally came to said nazis because most of them were banned from twitter and are unhappy with how forbidding it is to them

     @lina I wasn’t really bothered. The point of my OP was to counter the narrative that the Fediverse was a better platform just because. (Remember the “Twitter without the nazis” slogan?) No, a platform is as good as the people who use it, and people on Fedi are not exactly the cream of the crop, me included.
