    “Growth” as a concept does not have to be viewed solely through the lens of Silicon Valley, venture capital firms, or capitalism in general. In the context of the network: some people here, myself included, want to see the network develop along enough to sufficiently challenge the status quo, and dethrone mainstream social networks.

    For the #Fediverse to thrive, we inevitably have to bring in more people, new communities, and new ways of doing things. We need to build towards better concepts for user agency, privacy, and control. We need to also embrace the fun stuff that brought us here in the first place.

      @deadsuperhero I've been lurkin around this place for quite a while, and finally found where I want to hang my hat just a couple years ago. I've come to accept the fact that there will be dickheads anywhere dickheads think they can get away with being a dick, However, in all the years (5ish?) I've hung out here, I've not found any corner of this place to as bad as what you seem to have encountered. That really sucks that it's been that way for you. I truly hope you're able to find a space here that you find enjoyable; or at least a way to use the space you're in in a more funner way.

      @eshep I’ve been here for like 15 years. It ebbs and flows.

      I think I might also be a bit of an edge-case. I report on the same spaces I participate in, all day, every day. It’s been really amazing, and there are still plenty of good days. But, reporting on developments sometimes involves sticking my head into dumpster fires and writing about it.

      @webbj possibly, but I think some people also get their rocks off from aggressively telling other people what to do, and how to do it.

      @deadsuperhero Do people do this because they somehow know about CWing, but not about filtering? If there is a set of words that trigger you, Mastodon can effectively CW it for you.

      A non-zero part of Mastodon’s user community has effectively modeled itself on a kind of social Puritanism that is super unfun to be around. It’s gotten so bad that it’s a meme at this point. Just imagine a stereotype of a stodgy librarian who tells you to CW your own lived experiences because they don’t want to see it, and you’re already halfway there.

      There’s this wild idea that any kind of commerce or barter, any kind of exhange between hands that isn’t the most threadbare mutual aid, is forbidden and bad and going to make this place worse somehow. We’re a network predicated on GoFundMe’s and vast amounts of unpaid labor for hosting and moderation.

      @deadsuperhero This strikes me as very balanced and wise.

      @deadsuperhero I think there's also an ethical imperative. If we think the Fediverse is good for people, we have an obligation to make room for more people, to the extent that they don't make it miserable for people who are already here. If you have something good, you have to share it.

      I don’t know what else to say other than, shit’s kind of bad, and refusing to embrace any kind of positive motion to make things better in this aspect is awful. I’m not saying everybody has to pitch in, but some of the most toxic people I’ve come across on here barely lift a finger to do anything other than complain. And they just do that, for years and years.

      In my headspace, I just imagine a bunch of pissed-off anarchists that all hate each other because they’re the wrong kind of anarchist, and they’re just content to sit back and complain and be miserable until this network rots into the ground.

      To me, that fucking sucks, and I don’t want any part in it.

      Also, I’m sorry, I realize this probably scans as a lot more hostile than I actually intended.

      I care about this place. A lot.

      When I first came to Mastodon, the energy was so different. It felt like people were excited to meet total strangers, tell jokes together, share lived experiences. Now, I just feel sick from this unshakable hostility that sometimes emerges, this feeling that there’s just going to be more drama, most ostracizing, more lines being drawn, more vague unspoken rules.

      We could build incredible things together and change the face of the Internet as we know it. We could bootstrap a social and technological commons for the good of the world, and make a better form of online communication that doesn’t have the pitfalls that hearken back to Ma Bell and CompuServe and Meta.

      But we really need to chill the fuck out about a million and one things, come down from our fiefdoms, and be humans to one another again.

      Anyway, I’m sorry, I’ll shut up now. It’s just been eating away at me for a long time, and I needed to say something.
