@SuperFloppies That's exactly it. Social media lowered the bar. Netiquette was not only expected, it was enforced. Social media has been unleashed as a free-for-all where everyone gets thrown into a pit and allowed to behave like animals with no real repercussion. And that obnoxiousness is bleeding over more and more into society at large. Manners and etiquette USED to matter, parents USED to teach their kids to be polite. Now people waltz in, shit on the rug, and still get to stay at the party.

Months on CoSo, and I have not had to block a single person.

24 hours on Mastodon.cloud and I'm >this< close to leaving it because I have to block people almost as frequently as I had to on the site which shall not be named.

Jesus Christ, why can't people just stop being shitty for, like, one minute?
