While it's not really a one to one comparison, this same account on Twitter had me blocking hundreds and hundreds of trolls, while here I don't remember a single troll.

On Twitter their algorithm would get this account exposed to more users, many were just trolls.

One example was a post comparing the Roger Stone sentence, to what Willie got. Lots of folks would reply that they didn't think Willie was a real person or the facts were not correct. So I would reply to them, with a link to our website justiceforwilliesimmons.org/ At which point many would resort to trolling me.

So while I believe people who say they have problems with trolls on mastodon that hasn't been my experience.

Justice for Willie SimmonsJustice for Willie Simmons"Sometimes I feel like I'm lost in outer space." In 1982, at the age of 25 Willie Simmons was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole for stealing $9. He has been in prison for 41 years. This web site is intended to advocate for his release and compensation for the injustice…

How can this happen? Sometimes, accounts want to follow me that are completely empty, no posts, no communication (even not on their instance). But they have crazily many followers in a very short time. A new scam? Superfamous people under idiotic aliases? 22 K followers - most of them with 0 followers ! for a guy with an idiotic alias and a fake profile photo.

Why do I attract the most frail of attention seeking egos? I think that I'll just block people indiscriminately on #Mastodon from now on, without warning. I'm not here to be a buffer for your vanity or your smugness.

In fact, go out and meet people. Try to do it with them. What are the results? They won't invite you to parties - and it shows.

You have no place in my life anymore either, as I'm cleaning up my digital environment. This means #besserwisser, #trolls & #debatebros get the cutoff.

agreed. in this regard, #socialMedia can be a force multiplier for good as well as what it is now: a force multiplier for #bigotry and #plutocracy

but that makes our communities a target

so we need something like #mastodon where we can squash the #trolls without the "fReEzEpEaCh!" #bigoted morons and #centralized #corporate social media indifference or tacit support for #ignorance and #hate

we need the #fediverse to grow

Thomas Dambo’s Trolls are in town! The “TROLLS: Save the Humans” exhibition at the Memphis Botanic Gardens features six of these larger-than-life sculptures displayed throughout the grounds. They are made entirely of recycled materials.
The trolls “made a pact to band together and help save the humans by rediscovering nature and teaching us how to live in harmony with the earth.”

Whiny voices soon on #Mastodon:

"both sides the same"

"i oddly focus on only one issue where #Democrats aren't perfect"

"nothing matters, all is #corruption"

and other #toxicIdealism #psyop

these are not organic voices

they will trumpet their #leftism bonafides like Russian #trolls on Twitter with #MAGA flags but they are #agentProvocateur divide and conquer

don't get me wrong:

yes, the Democrats suck

but if you don't see the choice?

oof 🤦

This is what is looks like when Russian #trolls impersonate you to spew Kremlin propaganda on #ukraine.

Note that they are also disgracing my employer, not just me! I like to keep my employment reasonably private from daily online life, not publicly in your face.

People are forced to buy food with credit there, because they can’t afford it from their paycheck, but this is what Russia has money for?
