Just wondering as i feel each platform has its pros and cons but toxic-ness seems to be everywhere? is there a way to avoid most of toxic online? or is that not possible?

To give a non Fediverse answer (we're awesome), of the mainstream-ish platforms I've found Bluesky very non-toxic-- perhaps, I dare say... not toxic enough? You'll get really dumb takes or sloppy AI posts without a hint of pushback.

But I'm with people in these comments, I like this place most. Call outs aren't always considerate, but at least it keeps it from being utterly stupid. Polite corrections though are a treasure. That, and Never Slop kitties.

    interesting contrast of experience; I'm on a bsky with a bunch of game devs and artists, and the slop gets called out instantly.

    guess it's the company you keep.

    It certainly matters on who they put in your algorithm. I get more of the basic feed of political stuff and it's like... Gavin Newsom with AI abs or some stupid slop and liberal boomers going heart eyes, lol.

    I wouldn't mind the artists and creators more, though. It did trickle in for a bit then uh, a few nsfw popped up unblurred and for some reason saying no to that made them all stop popping up. If I really cared though I'd probably actually follow people more, lol
