I think one of the hard things about fedi, culturally, is that a whole lot (most??) of us are here because we are refusers of norms. And which norms and which levels of refusal differ.

So even if you’re at the 80th to 99th percentile of resistance to corporate social media OR mainstream party politics OR mainstream journalism OR cars OR the normalization of repeat covid infections, there will always be people popping up to tell you that by not being completely pure, you’re killing everyone.

@kissane@mas.to @lisamelton@mastodon.social Loudness reaches further than consideration. In a room the people who shout are heard more than the people who keep their voices low in constructive debates in order to follow each other‘s arguments. The loud ones, the purists and extremists, do not listen.

This seems to be human nature and it happens on all platforms. We have to train ourselves to ignore the loud ones and to learn from and become part of the sensible exchange.
