@zkat@fedi.zkat.tech i don’t know if it’s just the available tools. A lot of the hostility i see is technically not violating any rules. People here are often really good at wrapping vile shit in civil words. I feel like there’s a cultural aspect to it as well, with both places attracting certain types more than the other. I mean fedi is infamous for its reply-guys

@aesthr@wandering.shop I mean that’s a great example. I literally have my settings such that if I don’t follow someone, I need to approve their replies by default. If I post quiet public, it black holes their replies without even asking me (I use this when posting about gen AI now, for example). And that’s just a janky version of what bsky already does. I do agree there’s a lot of these people on here btw and I think what I’m getting at is part of the reason for that is that they’ve been allowed to thrive and push more reasonable people out
