@TechConnectify Part of me wonders if some of mastodon's toxicity comes frm appealing largely to nerds, pedants, & people who want to be "against" whatever the popular take is, or feel smarter than everyone else- in this case, being against/smarter than twitter & broader social media. Those tend to be the same bad actors in the open source space in my exp. :( they bring their practiced behaviors of "my opinion is the right opinion, and if you disagree thats cause you're dumb" to evry interaction
