I was explaining Mastodon to my wife and how it's different from other social media sites. I explained that I find it to be an inclusive, welcoming place. I explained that nearly everyone I follow is either gay or neurodiverse or trans or disabled. I explained that it's the first place I feel like I can actually really be myself and that people here are welcoming and supportive of me being myself. And that's why I've been so happy lately. She said "why don't you tell them that?" and I said ok!
@joehumphrey I echo your comments! Elemental, succinct, correct!
I'm still new here myself, and let me tell you that I DO NOT miss the drama and the feeling of dread from high anxiety due to fear of being bullied/harassed/doxxed for whatever reason someone dreams-up.
Literally everything offends every single person there!
I could post a weather forecast link, and someone would be like "you can't do that, weather science is a form of oppression!" (Eye roll)
