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.
The point of the fediverse wasn’t to get rid of assholes. It was to give us control over which assholes we want to be subject to. I’m quite content and happy with my assholes (Emperor, Albatross and Flamingos)
