@kissane Maybe try speaking more for yourself, as I find NONE of the things you mention stressful about this place, and definitely DON'T want an algorithm showing me posts it calculates are in my interest, since 99% of the time, it will be wrong. Instance picking is a literal 5-minute issue that disappears as soon as you pick an instance, which is not difficult to do. And since most of the rules AREN'T RULES, they're opinions, you can ignore those just as easily as anything else.

@whknott I just read and summarized 500+ replies from other people talking about their experiences. That is literally what the post I linked to is. šŸ¤¦šŸ»

@kissane There still a bunch of us that don't have a problem with anything you mentioned. Think that it might be you for like 10 seconds. More rules are going to mean more #enshittification, especially begging for an algorithm.

@whknott

Whoa, there. Take a deep breath, big guy. You're freaking out.

I know you're smart enough to realize that you not having a problem doesn't mean that other people don't have a problem. That's pretty basic logic.

I appreciate you're feeling all hostile because you don't want to see the Fediverse changed, and, you're not wrong in recognizing this is in fact a call to change how things work. Erin's report is an argument that things should be different around here for the sake of people who aren't you, and I can certainly see how that would be marginalizing as hell.

Are you just having a knee jerk reaction to the idea of change at all, or is there something specific here that rubs you the wrong way?

@kissane 500 people out of ... what? 2 million? I might also think there's some response bias there. Don't act like you're speaking for all of us, because you are definitely not.

@whknott Iā€™m quite clearly not, you insecure goofball.

@kissane I'm not insecure and there's no need to start with name-calling. Users can learn to manage their own timelines and stop trying to dictate experiences for other users. THAT is the biggest problem here.

@whknott You're right that it's not a problem if people using Mastodon would like to keep it a small community instead of bringing in as many voices and experiences as possible. But as a potential replacement for Twitter circles, it is a problem. And if that's two different conversations, that's cool. Just know that you may be having a totally different conversation, in this thread and more widely.

@whknott she's speaking for 500 ex-mastodon users as a way of understanding what went wrong. Calm down friend

@wilbr I'm calm af. Everyone should speak to their own incompetence and stop ascribing emotions to me. I could give a shit what you people say or think, because I know how to manage my timeline, the way none of you seem to be able to do.

Which is why you're muted. Have a nice day!

@whknott @kissane

You clearly did not understand her post at all. The opinions in the article belong to people who responded on blue sky. And she was not proposing anything.

If this is the kinder, gentler Twitter ā€” you must be an outlier. SMH

@whknott @kissane Your reply is exactly the point.

Not difficult for you is not the same as easy for everyone.
