Ok, so, as you might be able to tell from my picture, I'm a mayo fella. I've been reading stuff over on mastodon (I'm running both, some friends have chosen there). How is CoSo for people who aren't mayo and cis and male? Like some of the instances over there seem to be having a pretty shit reaction to new folks who are not .. you know, me or me-like.
@Camerondotca i feel like mayo is code for something here?
i think of mayo as a possible condiment for sandwiches. what are you talking about?
@singlemaltgirl I'm white. Very very white. Like mayo. I moisturise, so I'm not aging like mayo in the sun.
@Camerondotca you know what? i got that after i posted. doh!
in my defense, it's morning & i don't drink coffee.
so what you're saying is mastodon doesn't like white cis het males? how so?
The opposite.
People who are not white, cis het males are finding it unwelcoming.
@Shelter @singlemaltgirl Aye. I'm hearing transfolks aren't having a great time either on some instances. I'm on a NZ instance because a lot of friends are there and I fit in as honorary Aotearoan, so it's pretty small and chill. A friend who is super progressive also runs an instance, if I get annoyed where I am, I'll move there.. There is also a local punk one.
If I could make a suggestion that you separate as "trans folks?"
Trans is an adjective, and it's preferred.
Otherwise it's like reading, "Largevehicle."
@Shelter @singlemaltgirl yeah, I don't know how that happened. I've never written it that way before. But yes. Point taken.
