Nice is a pallid virtue. Not like honesty or courage or perseverance. On the other hand, in a nation frequently lacking in civility, there is much to be said for nice.
Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1994-05-15), “My, Oh, My, It’s the Ninth Wonder of the World,” Creators Syndicate column, Fort Worth Star-TelegramMore about this quote: wist.info/ivins-molly/50640/

In praise of nice people
#humanity #kindness #nice #niceness #people #philosophy #youtube… but this is something to forget something key about human nature. That we tend to category, and tragically, ignore and trample upon goodness and niceness whenever it crosses our path. We are spoilt children who rarely pay heed to the glories we are gifted.
…
life is too awful to treat niceness with anything other than wholehearted reverence.

A quotation from Naomi Shulman
Nice people made the best Nazis.
Or so I have been told. My mother was born in Munich in 1934, and spent her childhood in Nazi Germany surrounded by nice people who refused to make waves. When things got ugly, the people my mother lived alongside chose not to focus on “politics,” instead busying themselves with happier things. They were lovely, kind people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.Naomi Shulman (contemp.), American writer, essayist, editor

Good-nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty. It shows virtue in the fairest light, takes off in some measure from the deformity of vice, and makes even folly and impertinence supportable.
Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-09-13), The Spectator, No. 169Sourcing, notes: wist.info/addison-joseph/6068/

Sometimes when I
read my home timelime,
follow a thread,
view a profile,
follow another thread,
and am quite deep down an obscure topic I hadn't considered before:
I read #Niceness, #Decency, #Enthusiasm,
and even #Love.Often when I read such: I fav it.
Here's to you #fediverse. Thank you for making my life more #beautiful
♥️

@bleakfuture @ShaulaEvans @Mrfunkedude HA!
And as soon as I saw you, I had to follow immediately!
This Ouroboros of #Niceness OMG!
See, I say Funkee. Like Funky. I never even considered saying it Foon-kay. That sounds so much cooler. -

Although I understand there are good points to #Mastodon, I am really concerned that we cannot discuss #race and #politics and other important topics without trigger warnings and what not. I loved how reading passionate threads from others on Twitter helped me understand other perspectives. I can't figure out if that is possible here, without conversation being stifled and forced to adhere to some performance of #niceness.

CW: On niceness
First thing I noticed on Mastodon is that people are nicer. And I liked it.
This reminds me of HN. Say what you will of its culture, but I'll take reasonable passive-aggressiveness any day over personal insults.
#Niceness isn't a Western social construct. All cultures probably develop norms of communication in order to not sound aggressive or rude, unless you mean it. Assholes get marginalized or confronted.
You want your message to be heard and not just in a preach to the choir.

Niceness is the set of rules us white people established and force on everyone else, allowing us to punish anyone not seen as "nice" (as in, not playing by our shitty rules).
Kindness is giving a damn about other people and acting accordingly; kindness is sometimes speaking out but also sometimes shutting up. Kindness does not force others to submit to a set of arbitrary rules that favor white people.
I don't want a nice #Mastodon, I'd like a kind one.
