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.

    Make note of the instances you are on. Communities with the same names can be radically different across instances.

    Each instance may have their own collective view on what is right or wrong, good or bad. For example, I saw that you mentioned the "T" word (or was in a discussion about it) on .ml the other day and that is a recipe for an interesting discussion. You do what the heck you want, but each community will have their own special reaction.

    I stumbled into lemmygrad a couple of years ago, somehow. It didn't take but about 5 mins for me to be labeled a fascist baby killer.
