@murph if you dont like what you see, then either mute the user, or report them to the admin and have the admin apply whatever the agreed upon policy is.

dont shit on the user who made the post. if you want the system to work for you, you have to use the system in the way it was designed.

screaming at the user is bypassing the system entirely

- i cannot overemphasize this: dont be the motherfucking mastodon hoa. the entire reason bsky has been as successful as it was, is because too many people here told people "how to behave" on their first day, or shamed them because "they werent doing it right"

if you want mastodon to thrive, you have to make it "worth it to come here". nobody likes being shamed by rando strangers.

when the bsky exodus happens, please remember these things:
- dont be the fucking mastodon hoa. everyone hates those people. nobody cares if you think someone should be using a platform "your way". it drives people away. fucking stop it.

- dont shame them for going to bsky. do not mock them, do not give them grief. they made a mistake, and if they come back here, dont shit on them for it.

- make them feel better by coming here, not worse.

@foone @ryanc bananas

@foone f... what

@nixCraft

@nixCraft the ancillary fallout from this though is damaging people who have nothing to do with any of this AI hype - nvda is a major stock ticker and lives in a lot of peoples retirement portfolios (like, regular people, not finance bros or tech bros) and there are lots of folks who are shitting kittens right now

@Gargron yes. they fear retribution. with only so far that i've seen, wired and theguardian flat out calling it a nazi salute.

@nixCraft sportsmanship. people knowing stuff. folks helping eachother out. no ad industry. search engines that worked

@pixelfed glorious

@Gargron a welcome reprieve, im sure!

new life form just dropped.
