@thomasfuchs @maegul @emmah Agreed.
Frankly I find people make excuses for some of Mastodon’s defacto technica elitism by hiding behind lofty ideals.
Said ideals truly are great, but don’t seem to include concern for less technical users and I frankly find it to imply a mild disdain for non-technical users around here.
It’s the same reason I got really fed up with the Linux on desktop community a decade ago.
(I’m generalising here of course, not everyone in these communities are bad, and many truly are doing great work!)
