I have a #Fediverse article coming out tomorrow that I'm really not going to enjoy publishing. I think a lot of people are going to hate it, get nasty about it, and probably make the usual boring claims of how I'm spouting bullshit.
I feel as though part of Mastodon's user culture has enabled harassment, doxxing, death threats, and a litany of other horrible shit. What's particularly disgusting, though, is that a lot of these people will whine about privacy and consent before switching to some absolutely dehumanizing tactics that uphold neither principle.
It's not the progressive welcoming circle of friendship that it looks like. It's kind of a fucking vanity cult, actually.
