    I’m rather proud of how well we’ve done avoiding most of these. The threadiverse is interesting because of how different it is from the rest of the fediverse. It feels like most of mastodon left Twitter because they were tired of how toxic it was, most bookwyrm users left goodreads because it got to corporate, most pixelfed users left insta because they hate meta, loops left TikTok because of the US takeover etc. But here in the threadiverse it can sometimes feels like we spend a lot of time rehabilitating people who got kicked off Reddit for being too toxic, and I’m rather proud of us that it’s mostly a usable and pleasant experience, in particular because I attribute it to a lot of the oldheads being patient about helping people remember how to be people, rather than just another Reddit bot.
