Why does #mastodon seem so much more civil than other media?
I frequent a lot of forums where people tend to ask how to do something better in their hobby. There's always some jerk who asks, "Why do you do it *that* way??"
I like Mastodon because, when you reply, it's just a conversation between you and the person helping you. Sure, jerks could seek out such conversations, but that would be work.
Maybe the style misses out on interactions, but I haven't noticed.
