And its very slow growth over many years to 'just' a couple of million users (which growth hacking megaplatform enthusiasts have been deriding it for) contributes to this more healthy culture, imho. Yes, all the usual social dynamics exist that are also present in any other platform. But handled differently, better maybe.
- hnbad 3y agoIt's funny. The most "Twitter-esque" replies I see on Mastodon come from mastodon.social, which thanks to now being the "default server" in several apps seems to be facing somewhat of an Eternal September. There tends to be some drama around different attitudes to moderation on other servers but other than that they're usually fairly well-behaved and predictable by comparison. Twitter on the other hand seems to have opened some kind of hell portal giving 4chan a run for its money.
