@benroyce And while I'll certainly take your advice on trying to come off as less entitled to heart, I can't say that being called an "asswipe" inspires confidence in self-reflection. Nonetheless, the internet is great at making it super difficult to glean character from <400 character posts, and already provides too small a window frame to understanding one another at all. So, I'll be muting this thread, but if we interact further elsewhere, I'd take to more constructive criticism a bit better!

@moshimotsu

Fair

But please: let Dan be Dan. He knows all of this already

If anything this is merely a problem with open source: we do whatever the fuck we want. This is very freeing, and very attractive

But it doesn't mean it has any focus

But that's ok. The path forward isn't a straight line

And what gives me fear is negative feedback because that kills motivation

Dan's done so much already, just praise his good efforts

And let him do whatever the fuck he wants

@moshimotsu

I am a hothead and a loudmouth. If it means anything you see me calling people asswipes, fuckwits, douchebags, etc, 2-3 times a day. Search my post history

Doesn't mean you have to like it or accept it. Just process it as a personality style about how I communicate, not about what you deserve or not

@rolle In fairness, having <500 characters to express an opinion makes it easy for me to express the wrong voice And you're right, open source is absolutely about experimentation! What I was hoping to point out was that the goals he's setting out for himself usually involve huge teams of people (Mastodon alone is an entire non-profit), and are altruistic in nature; FOSS can already lead to burnout on its own, and I wary of burnout when you run two entire social platforms, and then add more.

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

fuck you shitbag

stop being such a malicious bottomfeeder

why are you on mastodon. shouldn't you be gossiping about celebrities like the rest of you useless smearmongerers?

"oh no, dan said something that can be interpreted in a bad way! "

he's building on the fediverse. what he builds is good. *that* i admire, 100%, you got me

and what are you worth? backbiting mean middle school level shit. fucking loser

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

i'm sorry you're so sexually frustrated you have to project that psychological status of yours all over mastodon

fucking bottomfeeding loser

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

wow. anonymous bottomfeeding loser, telling the whole world they are sexually frustrated

and 1,000,000,000%: i admire what dan is doing for the fediverse

and what are you doing loser? how are you helping?

telling us you're sexually frustrated and playing innuendo gossip games for smearmongering shitbags. you're a big help! do the fediverse a favor and delete your account, shitbag

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

thanks. i have a brain. i understand what building things on the fediverse means

what do you got?

telling the world you're sexually frustrated and anonymous smearmongering

why are you such a pathetic loser?

@origamiunicorn @moshimotsu

no, i'm not ok:

i enjoy engaging bottomfeeding trolls

they're such giant losers, and have no clue

dance loser, entertain me

@origamiunicorn

thanks. it's nice to know i have a bottomfeeding stalker feeding my profile picture into AI

see what you don't understand genius, is it is a method:

you mock the troll into getting them to commit something actionable

which you just did

so now i get to report you

{chefs kiss}

i usually reserve this game for vatniks, but you'll do today

thanks for playing!

@origamiunicorn

unread

uninterested

i'm waiting for the account suspension now

if it doesn't happen, feel free to harass and stalk me some more. we'll get some more material out of you. for my amusement, and potentially your banning

and at least you won't bother dan

@origamiunicorn

the bottom feeding troll stalking and harassing people is worried about someone having a sad need

@origamiunicorn

now you get it!

good job bottom feeder, you understand what it's all about and where your place is

@origamiunicorn

Ah! You're going to play victim

Scroll up, you doxxing, harassing, stalking troll. Your posts provide all the context we need

And fyi: mods can access deleted posts for 30 days, genius bottomfeeding smearmonger

@origamiunicorn i don't remember. i'm not keeping track. i have you picking through the toilet before i flush for that

do you think the victim card is going to work for you here troll. ok, go for it. i'll play the violin for you

Ps: i'm trying to watch Bad Bunny at halftime, give me a few minutes before we get back to addressing your sad social needs

@origamiunicorn

Do you understand how the emotionally immature leak their problems in their choice of odd insults?

We have your sexual innuendo. So you're sexually frustrated

Here you frame my admiration of Dan's efforts as a submission thing, so you're status/ hierarchy obsessed, like MAGA: insecure

And the doxxing and focus on me, which means you have ego problems: you think focusing on the person is painful

My friend, you're entertainment. You're funny

Seahawks are are up by 9

@origamiunicorn

unfortunately for you my dear friend, you are indeed a pathetic asswipe and a shitbag

you started an anonymous account

strictly to reply to me and engage in hate and innuendo on Dan

packaged with sexual frustration and hierarchy status insecurity

then some doxxing, which you since deleted

play victim all you want

it's all there

deletes are visible to mods and edits are visible to all my dear troll

i'm sorry, but if you don't want to hear it, don't engage as you do

@origamiunicorn

you have no posts. your oldest *reply* is 4 days old

so this is the reply guy harassment alt account of a loser with a personality disorder ashamed of their behavior

you don't have to hide sunshine. there's no need to feel shame

i don't have anything to hide. that's what happens when you face the world honestly

good luck on working through your problems in life. the sexual frustration, the focus on submission, the negativity on others because your own ego is pain

sad

@origamiunicorn

you already posted that sunshine

if you are going to entertain me, don't bore me. i expect originality

i also note you used the word "us" before. a psychological tell

do you believe people are on your side? you see yourself fighting for a group? i'm on the "outside" and you're on the "inside"?

weird delusion but ok

so... what is this crowd you perceive as "on your side"? apart from, you know, other anonymous trolling and harassing losers

@origamiunicorn

ah now is the part where the troll just repeats the same shit

they can't engage anymore but they don't want to "lose" by not having the last word

this is an indication you have gotten through to the troll, they feel the sting of self-recognition, but of course since they are essentially dishonest with the world and themselves they can't admit it

awww. do you need a hug?
