@nathan I thought about jumping into the discussion this morning, and now I wish I had, even though I doubt it would have changed your mind.
I just joined Mastodon last November, and I picked this server because I really appreciated the stance you seemed to take on running it.
It's incredibly frustrating that a selection of people who don't know when to quit have now ruined things for all of the rest of us, as well as harassed you to the point that they did.
