I know what Mastodon is. What you say is true for every social network, you can find your little niche that works for you. I'm speaking in broad terms about the general culture.
- Waterluvian 4y agoWhat do you mean by “broad terms about the general culture”? Are you saying that the average user of any Mastodon server is “evil and disturbed?”
- fleddr 4y agoNo, a meltdown is not the day-to-day culture, but it's definitely a fringe activist network.
- Waterluvian 4y agoThat is quite ugly. I’m sorry you’ve had that experience but I’m telling you: check out other servers. They’re really quite different and you’re in no way forced to engage in subcultures you’re not interested in. If you keep running into the same smell every where you go, it might not be that all of Mastodon is smelly. It’s kind of like Reddit. There’s all kinds of slimy subreddits, but I just don’t join those and I never see their content or discourse.
- peterashford 4y agoThat is just utter rubbish.

- StanislavPetrov 4y agoUnless you simply switch your feed to "following" instead of "for you", in which case you see every Tweet from only the people you follow in chronological order. Until recently Twitter would periodically switch you back to "for you", even if you had it set to "following". After a recent change, however, this is no longer the case. Why anyone would choose to allow Twitter to decide what Tweets they see, instead of choosing themselves, is beyond me.
