@hankgreen I feel like the problem is even more fundamental than that, though. Twitter is a platform for performance and Mastodon is no different in that regard. Some folks are out here performing their lives in public in the hopes of attracting an audience that will connect with that. Others have realized that more extreme versions of that performance tend to get better ratings, so they lean into that. And the easiest paths to that extreme performance are, unfortunately, pretty toxic.
