      I think it’s just the one server run by a mentalcase tbh. Not the first time I’ve seen them mentioned. The other thing was them freaking out because of GIMP.

        It’s honestly great to have the people who like to complain about things separated from the things they complain about. It sets for a more positive vibe in general, and probably does wonders for their blood pressure as well.

        I think anyone who disagrees with this decision would have left that instance a long time ago anyway :)

          I like this take, despite (or perhaps because) reactionary engagement is more than half the reason social media has proliferated for this long.

          Even if it kills Mastodon, having less angry people shouting at each other is undeniably a good thing
