@maique 🙏 (It's a continued sh_tshow and sometimes I feel very much like either cutting down most contacts or retreating to some Tumblr niche at the moment...🙈)

@maique Worst thing actually is: Looking through my timelines at least on what they call the Fediverse, it seems this kind of behaviour has been increasing the last months, introducing a generally more "toxic" climate and making a lot of people who were inspiring and welcome out here either withdraw or delete their accounts or just went quiet. Maybe it's really a matter of (lack of) culture in communication and we aren't able to talk to each other respectfully anymore.

@maique It's ... in a way a luxury problem then again, I guess, but it's annoying and I haven't found good ways to get rid of this. I'm on a (Friendica) instance of my own and I've just, so far... been very moderate about blocking and muting accounts because there really are /few/ people who /never/ have anything respectful to say, so maybe it's just my issue after all. (Too, however... I'm again and again confused, annoyed, disappointed to see how many journalists are among those adhering to this style of communication... like, also, finding very easy answers to difficult topics... finding one or two individuals to blame for that... and then keeping on pouring hate on them for days, weeks, months, usually merrily echoed by their cheer group. I'd expect something else from a journalist who should know about this kind of mechanisms, and it feels hard not wanting to see some sort of agenda here...)

@maique Yeah, maybe you're right, in both... thanks for caring.🙏

@maique Yes. Definitely so. 😊

@Brigitte Ja, das kommt noch erschwerend hinzu. 😔

@Svenja Ah thanks, wasn't aware of that. Not that this makes it any better. 😬
