I've only had this account on the fediverse/mastodon for 3 years, yet I've had more weird hate than at any other time I've been online except possibly USENET in the 1990s and Twitter in the 2010s when I was tweeting favorably about Occupy. People here have suggested I'm lying more times than I remember. I mean dang, it's fine to disagree with someone but you don't need to besmirch their character. If this were the 18th century we'd be dueling.<br><br>I tend to speak my mind because I'm of the opinion that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene_paradox" rel="nofollow">Abilene paradox</a> should not be a lifestyle, and that's gotten me some IRL hate over the years. But given what I've experienced here and how I've seen others treated, I'd say Mastodon really is something special in this regard.<br><br><a href="/tags/online/" rel="tag">#online</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a><br>
