    I don’t understand the politics. .ml, hexbear, etc. It’s like going to Christmas dinner with your girlfriend’s family for the first time.

    I don’t understand the broader structure, something about Mastodon being part of all this? How everything interconnects, etc.

    I’m happy enough here, I read, I make comments, I move on. Just like I did on Reddit. It’s a bit empty, so many of the communities are ghost towns. I get that I’m supposed to help with that, but I’m not much of a poster.

    Learning recently that apparently anyone can track my upvote/downvote stats was offputting. I’m going to stop upvoting and downvoting now, I don’t want people making inferences from that, but I’m fine with what I write, because there I always say what I mean.

      Votes technically being public and viewable however does mitigate voting manipulation and brigading and overall keeps the fediverse more honest and transparent.
