Gregory's Server@akien people don't read anything, so the fact that the post says they "partnered with meta" just means people will rant about meta in the replies, regardless of anything else. mastodon isn't really different (except maybe worse on this specific kind of issue due to demographics) from any other social media in that respect.

@dotstdy Also the post doesn't say "partnered with Meta", but "a collaborative effort with Meta". That means Meta helped make this happen (following the open source development policies of the project like any user/company would), and didn't do this alone in a vacuum but with involvement from other Godot contributors.  @akien Right, but you'd have to read the post to actually know what that means. And most of the angry posters don't have any idea what collaboration means in this context (to be honest, i had to read the article to see what it actually meant as well, but i bet none of the toxic replies clicked through xd). @akien But you're absolutely right that the weird foss bros are strong on this platform. I think in general the mansplaining factor here is also extremely high. @akien Yeah, I feel like popular mastodon posts look a bit like the phoronix forums at times, especially with things that anger the foss nerds. Which is pretty disappointing. |
@dotstdy That's maybe a factor, but the response on all other social media has been very different and positive.
