so is the fediverse basically just where people that would normally be rejected and treated like shit on twitter go? genuine question

@sandyx nah id be fine on twitter i just dont like it

@kallisti ah, i’ve been looking into how internet communities seem to reject people they deem unacceptable, usually over an opinion they hold, what many refer to as “cancel culture”, i notice it happens on a small scale to individuals as well as famous content creators so im trying to figure out more about that

@sandyx @kallisti It is called ingroup outgroup dynamics, in psychology. If someone in my town rapes, my town would hate them. If I lived in the time and culture of Genghis Khan and someone raped, we'd all congratulate him on his conquest and celebrate with joy. Ingroup outgroup dynamics. Do as the Romans do, because if you don't, they'll crucify you.

@Jazzy_Butts @kallisti hmm, seems like it could be the cause of many double standards

@sandyx @kallisti A culture is a system of logic, behavior x leads to outcome y, from the outside the system appears to be arbitrary, and this illogical, because it is. But once within, the system is to the viewer, perfectly logical. That is the trap of culture, of groupthink.
