@pettter Eh, went actually been through a fair share of community spats at this point.
What's funny is that I think most of the Mastodon vs Pleroma flamewars have largely died down, as the most toxic players all got defederated into their own bubbles.
@sean I absolutely get it. It's weird, and not entirely positive.
It remains to be seen how it shakes out, though. I'm not looking forward to when the first fan/antifan wars start to break out, especially with the object of fandom/antifandom there to fan (uh, pun not intended) the flames.
I know it doesn't ultimately matter, but it's weird to be in a space for almost half of your life, and suddenly see former Blue Checkmarks roll in and suddenly command a substantial following out of nowhere.
Maybe I'm being insecure and petty, I dunno. It's just kind of a mindfuck.
