already did but thanks :) it's sad when people can't keep their cool...

I agree that it would be beneficial to have this space be filled with people that understand it. What I meant by “I am not gate keeping the Fediverse” is that I don't want to be rude to new people by being annoyed at people not knowing stuff yet. It's okay to be new, it's okay to learn. I just want people to be willing to learn, that's all.

You didn't have to do that. If you feel embarrassed saying something rude, just don't but if you disagree with me, please do tell. I love hearing different perspectives, it makes you grow as a person.

Interesting take. I know about Meta and it wouldn't be out of character for the Dutch government to go into the federated direction. It would be really awesome to see more federated platforms catch on like Mastodon. We just have to be careful about letting companies like Meta in. What happened with XMPP can't happen with the Fediverse. I do admit that I probably make it out to be worse than it will be, I'm just the cautious kind. Let's hope that the Fediverse will be a nice place with nice people for a long time.

As you may have seen, that was my first blog post. It would be nice if you actually had something constructive to say. Care to elaborate on why you don't agree?

(Edit: Spelling)

Usually I would be open to an exchange of opinions. You not being able to stay calm and civil unfortunately prevents that.

Excuse me? I don't understand

It's not. I just wrote something about not using Discord and am currently working on a post about Element, the better Discord. https://uselessauth.btw.so/opinion-discord-shouldnt-be-your-main-messenger

I sadly have to agree... I see that this post has a 2:1 up/down ratio. I was hoping that people with different opinions would speak up more because I would love to hear them

I know all that but I honestly don't need to. Most of my time is spent inside anyway. Sometimes I take the train and spend a weekend some place nice but that really is all I need.
