   "Temper your criticisms of Mastodon, it's all done by one guy with some others working on it sporadically."
   
   There are instances that run better, and give users more freedom of choice, that are worked on by very few people, who certainly don't get 1,167 dollars a month like that "one guy" does.
   
   Mastodon deserves all the criticism it gets. It could do better and -should- do better. If you're so worried about offending that you don't want to take a guy who gets that amount of money a month, to task, then you're an idiot.

     1. Founded months and months ago.
     2. Had at -least- 300+ dollars a month, in the first two months.
     3. Repeatedly garnered help from other devs, then dismissed them.
     4. Misled his own users on how federation works, to make Mastodon seem better than it is/was.
     5. Received hardly anything but praise on Mastodon, until extremely recently (and even then I say that from reports I've heard, not what I've actually seen m'self, so I can't confirm Mastodon people are truly critiquing him now)
     6. Repeatedly prioritized new features, over fixing bugs (and when he has, he's complained about them being difficult, while the very devs he turned his back on, fixed them far more easily)
     7. Repeatedly, along with several members of his userbase, went after the more peaceful members of the fediverse, over mere political disagreements, hurling insults, to the point that it's smeared Mastodon's name for a long time coming.  
     
     My original point stands.
