It’s given me some of the most enjoyable interactions I’ve ever had online in the last ten years.
You need to have a thick skin, take the time to use filters, block certain keywords.
And use Pleroma, Mastadon is crap, Pleroma let’s you type for DAYS, “limited character cap” is really only a mastadon thing and it’s crap.
