What a coincidence that after tooting about switching to Laragon as my PHP development environment, my new Mastodon account at dragonscave.space reached three 15s: 15 posts, 15 follows and 15 followers, LOL.
I do like the number 15, though. 😎
I will never forget that one of my earliest experiences on Mastodon was when I joined Fosstodon way back in 2020 and witnessed my notifications being flooded by trolls or users from right-wing instances, all because my avatar contains the Philadelphia Pride Flag, which one of the trolls literally described as something only "SJWs" use.
So yeah, the idea that Mastodon is better than Twitter is only true if you join instances that actually block troll instances and has explicit anti-bigotry policies.
I still do not regret deleting my account on Fosstodon.
Jerry Bell's long toot talking about the bigotry and troll problem of the Fediverse (archive.today version) I discovered today is so important.
I have migrated my Mastodon accounts to the dragonscave.space instance.
