   You need balance as a fediverse developer, being able to respond constructively to comments like this can really make or break your reputation.

   I don't agree with them, and that's okay, but let's refrain from name calling.

     @dansup and one thing with comments like these is you don’t have to answer to everyone. Going into a discussion with some users just leads into frustration.

     Going directly into one extreme like calling a simple feature manipulative shows that even in the fediverse there are unbalanced people around that just can see one extreme or the other.

     Really makes one think about giving it all up and stay offline haha.

     @anatolegc I appreciate that, and it does mean a lot.

     I fully agree, and think we do need to give the community a voice and to fully explain ourselves when we disagree with certain feedback, in a respectful and productive manor.

     When your building something like this, you're bound to get a wide range of feedback, and I really love that, and hope to use that to shape the direction of this platform.

     @dansup I think that calm conversation is a necessity to shape a community project, that is focused on ethics like you are and we are doing, whatever the topic is, I think those opinions are welcome, thank you for your time reading those messages, this discussion raises a very important point in my opinion and thank you for your work

     dansup repeated this.

     @dansup My word. As someone who doesn't like the filter but doesn't care enough the filter to try to inflict my opinion on other people about it... Wow.

     I think... your post should demonstrate the awareness that fediverse developers also spend time dealing with issues like this.

     That I don't like the filter doesn't mean no one should use it. That it shouldn't be available.

     The world, such as it is, doesn't suffer me.
     I suffer it! 🤣

     I’ll take all the “stupid, childish and tasteless features” those other people were just gonna leave on the plate.
