Welp, people are getting defensive at me for saying I got threatened and mildly brigaded the first time I tried to join mastodon, and that's it's very white, boy, and techie.
They are not people who follow me, they just popped up to tell me in bland, passive aggressive terms not to critisize mastodon.
So that's still broken. Yeah, it's going to stay tech heavy, white, and probably mostly male, like some slow loading IRC server with gif support until someone wants it to change, I guess.
@quinn I'm sorry about the arseholes. They are always there, wherever we go, of course. But it seems more personal when they pop up here, somehow.
@fishidwardrobe honestly not really, it's 1. a social media network and 2. run by open source nerds, who often get suuuper toxic.
@quinn they do. although most of the people you see here aren't running anything.
@fishidwardrobe i know. i'm pretty up to date on how social media works
@quinn didn't mean to imply that you didn't, sorry.
