With asshole mods and asshole users running amok around instances unchecked while playing victim when the favor is returned to them. I find that the fediverse as a whole is just like any other socializing platform. No different, just a different coat of paint and a neat little mechanic in how it operates. But, still the same old shit.
How disappointing.
People remain people. Look at the bright moments and exchanges and don’t get carried away by bad experiences. A thick skin is always good in any public and shared setting.
