@Siphonay @inmysocks Yes, I've seen that. People don't join a stigmatised minority so they can escape privilege. It's downright silly 🤦♂️. BTW you don't need their opinion to be valid, and really, if people feel entitled to "validate" other people around them, whatever the reason, they don't have a clue what acceptance means.
@inmysocks @Siphonay (Of course I'm saying "you" as if addressing them)
@inmysocks @Siphonay honestly I don't see why people insist on defining other people and their behaviour. Being a good neighbor means that you should live and let live, be kind and friendly. A person is the best suited to define themselves, let them do that. Even if you don't agree. Even if you think that's dumb. That won't harm you. We don't have any interest in shaping them in our mold. 😉
Mastodon is NOT a panacea!
Toxic behavior DOES exit within the Federverse.
HOWEVER
Because each instance is it's own 'dumpster'... fires tend to be contained and are vastly more manageable.
We also have a LOT OF GOOD ADMINS who work to ensure any dumpster fires are contained.
If you find your instance is a bit of a dumpster fire head over to https://instances.social and nose around. The are a *LOT* of well moderated instances across a range of topics.

@Siphonay I think I've seen what you're talking about. It awfully looks like "bi people don't exist: they're either straight but trying to sound cool or gay but too afraid to admit it".
With the recent data scandals and the following realization by the public that a few companies have access to basically all our virtual identities, I feel like it would be time for Mozilla to re-launch their O-auth "sign in with Persona" feature. All we have now are facebook and google connect, sometimes birdsite. On tech stuff, github.
I like browsing the local timeline. It's really just like neighbors: it's not your family and friends, yet it's lively, open and reassuring. I'm picturing a nice, noisy street with a lot of chitchat and kind people.
Little by little, my Mastodon timeline expands. Artists, writers, gamers, tech artists (also known as programmers, but common, that's a better denomination), cat lovers, sysadmins and such. I love y'all.
@CobaltVelvet with the screencaps it's a lot nicer : https://octodon.social/media/foOghJAuY1zZFePGuI0 https://octodon.social/media/HtH6XC9FFdoP8N08n4w
@CobaltVelvet hey, just so you know, I've got some minor responsiveness problems on mobile (Nexus 5X, firefox focus, which uses the android chrome webview). Otherwise the offer looks neat ;)

I don't usually listen to country music. But when it's Trixie Mattel and it's unplugged, I'll make an exception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEFfz-XDQOU
