snac/the fediverse for a few days and already I've had to mute somebody. I know I come on strongly with my opinions sometimes and some people don't like that, but this person had already started going ad hominem (in my reading of it), and was using what felt to me like sketchy tactics to distract from the point I was trying to make and to shut down conversation. They were doing similar things to other people in the thread so rather than wait for it to get bad for me I just muted them. People get so weirdly defensive so fast when you disagree with something they said online. Not sure I fully understand that.
Well the experience you describe is one of the reasons I also don’t like Mastodon/Activity Pub as it trends towards being “too much” and if everything is pushed at you, you have little choice but to either mute or block at the server level 🤣
