because i read with my own two eyes an op-ed saying that the first couple waves of mastodon users were people who "couldn't handle opposing viewpoints" let me break it down for those who haven't figured it out yet:
it's not that we can't handle opposing viewpoints, it's that all of y'all keep treating being an asshole like some sort of ironic coolguy thing to do and we all find you insufferable and none of us can stand being around you
