I find Mastodon to be just as toxic as Twitter before X.
It basically depends who you follow. If you are following toxic people, that is your own fault with mastodon. On Twitter, the algorithm pushes it to you no matter what.
I have only followed a few people and they are from the suggested list. I picked Rochki, it's FOSS, ars technica, and nixCraft. I just went to the search tab in Mastodon and the first two messages are about blocking people and nazis. Not sure how that's my fault.
Ah, I mean it's about punching Nazis. Some would argue that is wholesome 😅
