May as well drop a bomb right before going to bed.
I'm sure @Gargron, as a young, inexperienced developer, has made a ton of mistakes running Mastodon. Young humans do that.
Eugen is a person. A lot of people claiming to worry about "social media harassment" seem worryingly oblivious to that as they dogpile and heap on the negativity.
You're entitled to your frustration, but don't be the problem you claim to want to solve.
Keep it positive? #ForkOffTogether and make things better?

@maloki No, it doesn't matter.
One of the most fundamental problems with social media and harassment and the pain it causes, is that one person can easily become the flash-point of a mob's aggression.
Whether each individual in the mob actually has justifications for his or her grievances is completely irrelevant. Mob justice is never reasonable.
When people become the target of a mob, the only self care that works is to stop listening. Sound familiar? Yeah.
