I don't think you've bad intentions with your post here, for the record, I understand not wanting drama, and to an extent I do agree, Mastodon and GNU -should- in an ideal world, work. Not all people on Mastodon are cruel after all.

That said, I can't blame people for having the dislike of Mastodon or it's nodes that they do, and others have to try and recognize that. People joined into federation, into GNU, for what it represents. Then Mastodon shows up later on, a bunch of the users go on witch hunts, Gargron himself tears people down, and the more things have went on, Mastodon nodes are popping up that block instances they hardly know.

A perfect federating world would be great, but when you ask people to accept a place and it's nodes, that have shown before that they like to act as authoritarian bullies, break the principles the fediverse was built upon, and go "our program isn't working with yours, you go fix it" expect resistance.
