I would like to know if I can feel safe here, or if I should pack it up and start looking elsewhere sooner rather than later.

If the kbin staff have already made there intentions clear, please let me know.

I feel that this has been a bit of an eye opening moment. It's nice to see that we at least don't have to worry about the risk of importing a toxic community, because evidently we are fully capable of producing that ourselves.

I had no doubt that that this is a controversial topic, but the fact that we as a community aren't even capable of having a civil discussion about it actually saddens me a bit (I'm not just referring to the comment I'm replying to).

Haha I chuckled every time I see someone describe the Fediverse as friendlier than traditional social media. The community here is far more toxic.

Every time I saw a post to that nature, I also saw that same post flooded by unfriendliness.

Basic human nature, alas. There are no technical means of changing it, only ways to adapt our tech to working in its context.
