>And the cherry on top of that is that the people who run Mastadon don’t give a flying fuck about what the people are clamoring for and are actively refusing to listen to user feedback, all because they are on some sort of religious crusade that has nothing to do with any sort of market research, any sort of user feedback — they are just sitting there smelling their own farts while letting this great and transformative opportunity go to waste.
These open source project don't owe anything to anybody and Mastodon have nothing to gain from sudden influx of entitled users.
They don't sell your data and don't show you ads while still having to pay the bill for choosing beggars who've been accustomed to using free stuff online all their lives, bitching about where the project should go.
They can contribute code, open a fundraiser to raise funds to pay developers, or just go back to Twitter.
