There is an off-putting sort of attitude on BlueSky ("sneering mockery", I guess?). Same attitude was present on Twitter during the pre-Musk era and seems to have migrated over.



There's plenty of that on Mastodon, as well. I think it's the format itself that encourages this kind of "community".


I think it's the format combined with some particular type of demographic (I'm not entirely sure what that demographic is).

X, for example, doesn't have much of that. It has its own flavor of toxicity, which is in many ways worse, but not that particular flavor of toxic.

I also see it on Reddit in certain subreddits but not in others.
