Mastodon is very much not like twitter a lot of the time, especially in certain instances with a different community attitude. you can engage with people in good faith, so it doesn't have to be an 'argument' in the typical sense. its usually not ever a fight. Just, if they're a mutual, assume they like you and don't want to have an ugly fight with you and are willing to listen to your points.
@Mirzaba I’ll do my best.
I also worry that I’ll bring bad habits here. I have a personal history of being very argumentative, though I believe I’ve improved over time. Everything has been so nice here so far! I don’t want to ruin it! 😁
What brought this on was that I just had an interaction with someone that felt hostile, but then I find myself asking if it really was, or if maybe I was initially hostile withthout meaning to be.
