Do people actively look for me just to throw dirt in my face? WTF is this place even about?

I'm honestly sick of this. Every time I start thinking "hey, maybe I should give mastodon another chance" it ends up with people who I don't know, being shitty to me without provocation, and I'm tired of it.

@InvaderXan :(

I'm sorry you have this experience

For what it's worth I really appreciate you 💜

@InvaderXan
this was supposed to be a welcoming space, away from the toxic twitters, facebooks and instagrams, and yet I see more and more great folks give up, because their writing about identity and diversity attracts people who feel free to make shitty comments.
I will miss you, and your great food for thought. I learned so much from you!
😢

@InvaderXan I wish I could tell you to not give up hope. It's honestly difficult (for me, at least) to find good content producers on here. I'm mostly still only reading the people I followed in my first month.

@InvaderXan well, i, for one, hope you stick around. i like your posts and your vibe, and (not that you asked me but) in solidarity i say screw those people who are messing with you.

@InvaderXan
You are a good person and don't deserve that. Do you need to block some instances?

@InvaderXan Frustrating :(

For every such person there must be oodles of nice people who love what you're expressing here! So often I read one of your toots and just keep nodding and smiling. For me, you are definitely one of the people making Mastodon worthwile with what you say.

@InvaderXan sucks that's happening. You're one of my favourite faces on here, and I have no clue why people would choose to be shitty at you.

@swift @InvaderXan this!

Really sorry you are getting this crap.

@InvaderXan It sucks that this is your experience. I've heard the same from a few others, and I just can't comprehend it.

I don't have this experience so it's tough to make any suggestions, offer any advice, or say anything sensible.

But it sucks, and I really, *really* hope it changes.

If you'd like to DM me a pointer to the offending toots then maybe I can comment sensibly, but regardless, I certainly offer my anger on your behalf towards the utter jerks who are out there.
