Fuuuucking FB. I'm saved by just not ever using messenger, so even when people have tried to unleash nastiness and/or weirdly sexual messages at me, I don't see them for like... six months, by which point the impact has worn off, lol.
But that sort of reaction to posting an, in my opinion, completely correct assertion about a sport... is just fucking unhinged.

Twitter seems to just amplify assholes way more than it should, but that's a very outside perspective because it's never been a site I was active on.

Mastodon has definitely gotten a lot of attention in the twitter-exodus. I hope it and/or CounterSocial are good!
