This is why I believe federated social networks are never going to work out long term. Someone who starts an instance doesn't know they're signing up for thousands of hours a year wading through the cloaca of the internet. That shit is *terrible* for you. (CN terrible shit for this whole thread, btw.) Even if Mastodon had the best admin tools ever (and it sounds like they really don't), it's not possible to prepare someone starting a new instance for what is going to get reported to them, either the volume or the content.

CN sex assault & coercion: I made the mistake of reading the comments. The victim blaming is disgusting. So I don't scream at everyone there, a rant about why women don't "just leave": Women use "soft no"s because we are socialized that the worst thing we can do is make a man feel bad. We are expected, even in refusing something a man wants, to manage their emotions (that they won't admit to having). We employ the soft no to attempt to bypass the sulk.

if you have off from work today, btw, thank a "violent" "leftist" protesting the "wrong way": en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman_S… Labor Day exists because Pullman rail workers got fed up of high housing & living costs in the company town they were forced to live in.
