Guess I have to use my range for something good for a change. Please read and #RT if the #Fediverse is important to you.
A few days ago, @Gargron, maintainer of #Mastodon and the big instance mastodon.social, wrote a blogpost explaining how the official app will soon feature his instance as a default.
Voices of the community weren't heard. He even doubled-down on it.
We have to prevent this change.
Please Eugen, #DontDoTheElon.

Eugenβs misguided moves on Mastodon
https://blog.natanox.de/2794/no-guide-eugens-misguided-moves-on-mastodon/
To make it abundantly clear: I do not think Eugen is acting with malevolent intentions. I do however strongly criticize the lack of communication and that what he's currently doing promotes more competition instead of cooperation (even if it's by accident), which the Fediverse should not have.
The reason we're so nice to each other here is because most of us expect the other to be inherently good, or at least have good intentions even when they're angry. Competition alienates this culture.
