yep. this is what many of these people just continually fail to understand.

it’s just not fun being around abusive, abrasive, anti-social people constantly.

its not complicated. it’s not scandalous. it’s not shocking. people don’t enjoy being around anti-social rude people.

when they’re given an alternative where the promise is less shitty behaviors (the current iteration seems to be mastodon) then people go there, and this drives a certain group of people crazy.

what we should be asking is why it bothers them so strongly when some people say “i’m personally going to move away from that rude abrasive person over there.”

why are they so insistent that we spend our free time around abrasive assholes? they’re adamant about this. why?
