@polotek actually, that was helpful. My last response will be this:
Sometimes people get upset when other people do things that they don't like that affect them, even when they have no power to stop them from doing it.

And it's great for you and for me, who have our own instances, and who have taken whatever steps we felt were necessary in light of that. So I can understand why it's not important to you.

But there are other people, who don't have what we have, who get to have it be important to them. They get to be upset. Hell, I'm in community with some of these folks so I'm upset too.

I guess that's just going to be baffling to some people and I'll just make my peace with it

@tillshadeisgone none of this is "baffling" to me. I understand everything about why people are upset. You seem to confused because I'm still suggesting that being upset is not sufficient to solve the actual problem. People seem to think that having random strangers acknowledge that you're right to be upset will somehow make everything okay.

Is it like, you're looking at this bridge episode as indicative of the overall Fediverse structure being inadequate for privacy/safety, whereas most people (me too I admit) have had their focus on the shape of that one particular situation?

kind of like "don't get hung up on this one particular example with this one particular guy, there's a bigger picture which needs attention"?
