To be clear, though, as much as I can understand the frustrations, my Mastodon experience has been the opposite. I don’t know if it’s because I’m in tech (sup NERDS) or I just lucked out with my instance (https://social.lol).
Everyone is nice. There are lots of creative, interesting people posting art, code, statuses, silly things, serious things—just a good variety of stuff.
When I log into Bluesky, I don’t know who to follow and it looks like mostly just screaming.
