I can't figure out if mastodon is a high context culture or not. People seem to be expected to give long introductions and do a lot of identity/positionality disclosure, but also an enormous reply guy culture which is defined by low context drive-by. Conversational turn-taking is extremely low compared to other platforms ime, but depth-seeking is high. What an interesting mix.
*obviously, these experiences are all situated within my own network effects, and I'm not well networked here.

Here, let me explain that for you... 
No one needs to be condescended to, and of course we have all experienced hostile trolls. Block is a great tool for that. People who are frustrated with ‘reply guy culture’ are absolutely justified in their views. However- Mastodon has a diverse community of cultures that are mostly people who’s idea of community standards were in part shaped elsewhere. Deadbird escapees had different trauma than exRedditors, who reply by topic.
