 @364db023 @420f26f4 I vibe with the bit about the civility trap for that exact reason - i felt the thing snap shut on me in that thread.

Seeing a chunk of highly radioactive debris in my feed originating from an account I had until that point trusted has been a real "what's going on here?" moment.

 @364db023 @420f26f4 I've noticed that mastodon seems to be significantly more vitriolic than twitter and I'm wondering if that's a dilution thing (I follow a ton of art accounts on twitter so Disk Horse is comparatively a smaller chunk of it) or if people are just genuinely more pissed off here. Or if it's a block thing; I was part of a block list on twitter for awhile that blocked everything trans-hostile.
