MODERATORS
I remember when I first tried to use Mastodon and struggled with how best to make it work, so I asked what was probably a basic question to the Enlightened™. Instead of being helped, I was met with "it's easy, maybe you're just dense?".
Then I thought that maybe Mastodon doesn't have the kind of people I'd want to interact with on it.
Unironically, this makes me pine for the old days where usenet discussions were lively.
I've never see anyone respond with hostility to any 'how to' question on mastodon. What you've described sounds totally unlike anything I've seen there. So if you have a link to your discussion, I'd be interested in seeing how that happened.
