Nah just the usual issue of nerds having a pathological compulsion to look down on anything that doesn’t meet their arbitrary standards for niche technologies. Same with people scoffing at someone who uses too “mainstream” of a Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint rather than Arch or whatever.
The people on Mastadon are why I chose not to stay there. If you don’t know and adhere to the “expected behaviour” there you’re the devil and a million people with furry avatars will surely let you know.
Honestly I really dgaf. I have a gay sibling and a gay niece. I am an ally and a realist and if I call you out on your bullshit that doesn’t make me a bigot/homophobe. I’ve been arrested defending my sibling so I’d say I’m pretty fucking invested in protecting lgbtq people.
There are tons of people who are lgbtq who use that as a defense every time they act like pieces of crap or hypocrites. Mastadon has a lot of that.
I’ve heard people trashing mastodon before, is there like a reason people don’t like it? I haven’t spent much time on it myself.

There are possibly multiple reasons (which i don’t really agree with)
It’s bad because it’s popular
It’s bad because of features
It’s bad because the users

Can you provide an example of this “expected behaviour”?
Sure. Agree with everything everyone says otherwise you’re a bigot/nazi/right wing homophobe.
Yeah… sorry if I am very skeptical of your criticism…
99% of the time anyone says what you say… there’s a reason for it.

You asked, I answered.
