 Some cancelled their support of what i do due to “Mastodon rants” 💀 Not going to apologise for existing as a human being, who has thoughts and doesn’t like the gatekeeping on Mastodon that some people keep showing. However it does repeatedly tell me that perhaps Mastodon isn’t worth so much of my time because of all the hate and arguments thrown at me. Will be thinking on this. 20 comments
 @gamingonlinux If "mastodon rants" are enough to turn someone off, they weren't worth keeping to begin with. You are right to be annoyed and upset with mastodon gatekeepers. They just need to shutup and let people use this service in a manner that suits the individual using the service. *This is not a request for support and pledging at the start of a month is better, otherwise you get double charged on Patreon as mine takes payments at the start of every month. @gamingonlinux There's a very simple tool to manage hateful and toxic comments. Block. Blocking toxic people makes life better 😊  @gamingonlinux   @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux That kind of noise is always going to happen; people are going to 'vote with their wallets', as they should. But don't forget plenty of us are sticking around just fine. I do find it all kind of funny in the context of a dominant proprietary storefront (Steam) and proprietary games and proprietary hardware to run them on... Like, I'd love a libre hardware RISC-V system to run FLOSS games on as much as the next enthusiast, but that's not what GoL is about. @gamingonlinux lol, yeah, unfortunately, there seems to be more and more "open source veganism" going on, where, instead of making cool stuff, people tell other people that they are bad people for not being purist enough. Don't listen to the haters, and do what you feel like.  @gamingonlinux damn. This is my favorite way to follow your coverage besides the RSS feed. I, for one, appreciate your presence here. @gamingonlinux I think where your use pattern breaks down is the combination of personal and business/project content. It's fine to post personal stuff on your mastodon account. It's fine to have a mastodon account for your business or project. But using one account for both is inconvenient for anyone seeking either but not both sorts of content from you.  @gamingonlinux Fuck the gatekeepers. Keep doing what you do. Plenty of us here support and like you. @gamingonlinux don't listen to comments like this. There will always be people who do not like what other people do or say. Don't be discouraged by negative feedback. |

@gamingonlinux you’ll run into this sort of thing everywhere. There are always going to be a set of people who don’t appreciate every aspect of your content, and that’s ok
