@phiofx @molly0xfff I’m afraid the main effect it will have on devs is to scare them
I know a bunch of very talented devs who were interested to do cool stuff on Mastodon. Then the abuse came. And they left. In a "I have no plans to even *consider* Mastodon in the future" way.
Constructive criticism is necessary. But abuse, brigading and tribalism are a drag for Mastodon.
