Getting a bit tired of Lemmy and Mastodon. People aren't humble at all and are so toxic and weird. I'm mostly a lurker but it is very sad that these platforms are not very nice to be at. No matter who you follow you're always exposed to not-very-nice people.
Sadly I quit mastodon early this year. People are very shout-y.
Lemmy has its share of jerks, but beehaw is at least is bit better, more community feeling.
are you on one of the big mastodon instances? i have .social and .online silenced because they’re really too big to be moderated properly.
I'm on fosstodon! It might be related to what I'm interested to but I noticed people are pretty judgemental of everything and there's this weird tendency of talking like they are superior because of how well informed they are? I don't know how to explain but I was kind of sold to the idea that these platforms would be more positive and maybe my expectations were too high
the foss crowd can be very “i know better than you” in my experience (a femme-presenting person in tech). i started a geographically local instance because that was what i missed most about that sort of social media: finding out about stuff that was happening nearby.
what kinds of things are you looking for on mastodon? there are also lots of hobby-related instances with overlapping foss interests that tend to be more chill from what i’ve seen.
Haven't found a good use for Mastodon yet, but then again I don't really miss Xhitter so it probably isn't for me, anyway.
I usually just stick to Subs and Local on Lemmy, and since that means Beehaw, a tiny Danish instance and a board game community, I generally find that people are quite lovely.
The bad experiences don't really come out of the woodwork unless I start browsing Everything.
