Feel free to respond with more that are good so new people can get some ideas

Went to Aldi's. It was aight!

Sometimes I think about going to therapy for my social media rage but I know they are gonna tell me to just quit using social media.

Why do people subtoots. I ask this as someone trying to break out of the remainder of the habit. What are we achieving especially if we don't friends only and CW it.

I talk about this shit because I think that with the right push we could stop all this toxic behavior. We can make it better, truly better than Twitter. But we have to try.

The problem isn't with Mastodon. The software. The problem is with us, the users. Do fucking better.

I've seen suicidal people bulldozed off fedi because they had a breakdown and instead of talking to them people decided to post about This Is Why They Are Bad and tell everyone they are abusers.

We need to fucking quit allowing that in fedi

Not naming names but there are absolutely people who do this shit and get away with it because they are popular or the right kind of marginalized that they can bulldoze other vulnerable folks and be celebrated

People with thousands of followers posting screenshots just cause someone dared not like them

People posting screenshots of emotionally unstable trans people going "look how bad this person is"

Fucking stop it

Stop fucking doing that

Like uncensored screenshotting

Oh I didn't realize there was a new influx when I posted my gloom.

Tbh most of it is entirely related to the fact there are too many attitudes that people didn't leave behind on Twitter
