@rl_dane @jztusk especially, when we bring in the context of Mastodon, when they are told features they miss from commercial platforms shouldn't be implemented here or that there's no space for them.
Why do you think that has been so irritating to me? I get this sense that if I don't outright reject everything about the commercial platforms, I have no business here. And to be honest, I'm getting that sense from you.
Most people don't want to be around others like that. Simple as that.
