One of the things I appreciate about Mastodon is that the admins actually enforce humane standards of behavior.

@pzmyers agreed 100%. not all admins are on the same page on all of the issues, but i'm happy that many have coalesced around the same concerns regarding harassment, hate speech, various -isms that make people feel less safe and less welcome, etc.
