You have to take Alex for who he is. He’s kind of a goofy guy who likes getting high off his own farts. But Sean is unironically a retard who kisses the ass of any perceived Internet tech daddy who will tolerate him, and aside from Gleason being a cringelord in his own rite, his sentiments toward the Pleroma developers is roughly correct. People have had problems with most of them for years, for a variety of reasons that don’t bear getting into, but their egos are just as legendary as Alex’s, the only real difference being they’re also extremely mentally ill sex perverts.

I think Alex said once “They love being the big fish in their small pond” and that’s basically true of every Fediverse contributor, but *especially* the developers.
