New to Lemmy and I quit reddit years ago and I remembered that r/conservatives was hostile to me for voicing my politics certain other subreddit made fun of me if I was wrong. I’m newish to the fediverse. I’m digging mastodon even though I never did Twitter
I originally found it really nice but in the past two month’s I have run into a lot of rude users. Best thing to do is to call them out, report them, then block and be done with it. This makes it a lot easier honestly. Most of the frequent users are nicer.
I find the contrast to be funny. Some of the interactions are friendly where people know each other and ask them how certain events in their personal lives went. Some are just nasty. There is no predicting what you’ll get, other than some decent active users that I’m familiar with.
Were they new users?
Not always but frequently.
