How? I'm mostly following mlp-related accounts on mastodon and don't see any toxicity.

I haven't seen any toxicity on the server I'm on (https://mastodon.gamedev.place ) either. But I've seen people I follow complain about it in the past, and I trust them. Especially considering they left for Bluesky.

I think Mastodon users are more technical and blunt, drawing from the same stereotypes that people have (often fairly) thrown at nerdier people. We just need to keep that in mind. And maybe a good ad/explainer, given how many people bounce off the concept of federation and different servers.
