I must say, that even in the last few days since I joined Mastodon I’ve seen a culture shift - more #politics, more ‘hot takes’, less discussion, fewer #CWs, less #AltText. I hope it’s a blip and urge newbies like me not to unwittingly play out the #coloniser #stereotypes and ride roughshod over the existing culture. It’s a lovely, gentle, curious #community here, would be awful to ruin it because we’re conditioned to something worse.
@Emmie As a n00b here, I've read and taken notice of yours and other toots that make this point. I will do my best to contribute - sometimes just to chew the virtual cud - by no means anything profound in every toot. I respect that here is a different culture and deserves to be treated as something precious.
