Already using a .ml account, and have seen divisive toxic negativity that has me ready to pack it up and delete it all. Everyone that I enjoyed interacting with is missing in post comments already. It feels dead, like the death blow to what was already struggling. I guess this is my litmus test post, despite knowing the probable toxic ire it will draw. I’m just 200 posts and 1600 comments here.

Completely healthy and reasonable, just like there are multiple xmpp servers, multiple mail transport agents or multiple matrix homeserver implementations.
