Yeah, one thing that really helped me was watching out for communities in .ml, that’s where a lot of our crazy comes from. I almost never comment in posts from those communities and think very carefully about whether I want to engage with a .ml user.

And, I guess while we’re throwing out tips, I’ve really dug smaller communities (which was also the case with reddit.) I find browsing by scaled and all you find some neat ones full of interesting folks (or dullsters, as in one of my favourite communities, the dull mens club.)

And fully agree, people seem to have at least been polite with you!

Just a head’s up! Hope the rest of the fediverse treats you well.
