@Gargron @mcc All the more reason to treat the user experience problems with Mastodon seriously, so that the people who are at the mercy of network effects and get sucked into new sites like Bluesky are relatively less harmed by them.
I agree with your point here but when you say it it smacks of defensiveness. I understand the impulse to be defensive here but the better thing is to double-down on making the UX better, particularly in terms of making public statements.
