I am beyond sorry to hear that you're having a bad experience here.

For me, Mastodon is the most supportive community ever. I have very few reply guys in my communication, and instead, have found an awesome community of wonderful writers - some of which have become close friends.

Definitely use that mute button. You can even mute/block entire servers if you notice there is one full of those nasties.

Also, let your admin know. Admins here are awesome allies.

@Firlefanz@writing.exchange I've done all those things, when possible/appropriate, and yet here we are.

I think it's actually getting worse and IDK if that's because people are leaving, bots, or just the general free-floating anxiety that makes everyone on edge (and for some that brings out their worst selves). If you feel helpless in the world, well, then, I guess going hunting on line is fun!

@susankayequinn@wandering.shop @Firlefanz@writing.exchange But social media is the place for bringing out your worst self!! I'm sorry you're experiencing this, and all I can offer is a quote from the Wu Tang Clan: If you don't have any haters, go get some.

People are going to feel threatened by the kinds of things you advance. Fuck 'em.
