I think at least with here, blocks and mutes will completely remove people. You won't even see replies.
Elon saying he was gonna screw around with blocks was the death knell tbh.

I get that any place can be Toxic I just couldn't tolerate the dead bird level of toxicity, and I have now cut the cord like many others.
BlueSky has better tools to deal with toxicity than any other place that I have seen so far
I hate Elon and X has become bad. Instagram is really toxic too. Meta have “done big bads” 😂. LinkedIn is toxic in a different way.
Cont…..
So pick which toxic you want but don’t fool yourself into thinking any are good.
Fwiw, I assume the depravity of humanity is universal and trolls swarm to socials like moths to a flame, but it's just that there are better tools available to limit their spread/awfulness.
Numbers of followers don’t matter.
If you are feeling sad, mistreated or angry when you spend time there, just fucking leave.
Kittens are much more far betterer! 😻
While it’s a bit like the first day of term with everything fresh and new, it won’t take long for the bullies and their ilk to emerge- the real test is in how that is managed before our parents drag us out and send us to a new school!
Hope you’re doing okay and of you’re ever down Exeter way, let’s grab a brew sometime! Big love x
People gonna be people wherever you go, your reaction to them is the key 🔑
IG and LinkedIn don’t allow that and it’s hell
The rest is kinda politics
You just gotta find your toxic 🤣
Probably platform blocking/reporting tools matter. Only been here a couple of days but I like the tools here so far. And the people.
And having robust self-preserving tools helps hugely.
You’re just right
But yes, it's about what level of toxicity you can bear. Will probably never leave Xhitter, but love the more recent micro-blogging sites, mainly here and Mastodon.
If you don’t like hit delete.
I'm also noticing that with the huge influx of people coming in, we're starting to get more of that toxicity
I’m not interested in your trying too hard to prove yourself.
The difference between us is that I don’t care what kind of first impression I make on anyone. You get used to it when you’re a covenless witch.
