These bullies are going to ruin the fediverse.

There’s some people primarily on mastodon who are really the worst type of online scolds. They’ve driven scores of developers away with these antics and are then wondering why people preferred bluesky.

It’s profoundly depressing. Developers are the lifeblood of open source projects, and we’re all kind of just scraping by at the moment. Loads of people end up investing years and years of labor for free, only to get toxic interactions in return.
