hey i have been seeing a lot of angry '@'s on mastodon including at mastodon contributors, and i was thinking about this...

is the way you would call out someone on mastodon different than how you would give criticism in real life? i cant imagine a lot of people having the tenacity to take such an aggressive tone with people face to face, especially publicly.

mastodon seems to be on a high horse about not being mean like twitter, but i still see this shit where people will tear down others online.

rather than fighting about the politics of random features, maybe masto can work on online bullying culture, for the mental health of the community.
