@timtfj That does not sound terrible to me. I guess the people you surrounded yourself with are good people. The terrible people on Twitter are the ones that jump in from the outside to derail a human conversation.

These new folks may have a higher percentage of people who see themselves as a brand to be sold,although likely they will move last. That is why I expect things to become a bit more like Twitter. But I do not think they will derail conversations given how Mastodon works.
