@maxmustermann @detectivehyde so yeah if you manage to find something that backs that up it'd be great

Why are people nice about Eugen?
* He made an extremely naked and transparent attempt to "muscle in" and establish Mastodon as the only legitimate fedi platform, or perhaps even as fedi ITSELF.
* When this was challenged (by lain making something better), his response was to silently hide the posts of EVERY SINGLE PLEROMA DEVELOPER from users of his instance, mastodon.social
* He colluded with dzuk and the rest of the blocklist gang, implementing their blocklist on mastodon.social without stating ANYWHERE that something so crippling was in effect. He, dzuk etc. used blacklisting as a method of trying to "force the hand" of instance admins to not only ape the same code of conduct, but also use Mastodon (as the only software with all the tools necessary to follow that code of conduct)
* When they turned on him and started threatening to fork his precious project, he quietly stopped playing along, again without saying a word because he's a coward. (This is why people on mastodon.social can see thechad.zone even though it's been on the blocklist since day 1 - we launched after the forkoff shit started. By contrast, to my knowledge toot.love, another free speech instance, is STILL blocked from properly federating with mastodon.social, because it's been on the blocklist since before then.)
* Again I must point out that mastodon.social users HAVE NO IDEA THAT THEIR INSTANCE HAS FUCKED UP BLACKLISTED FEDERATION TO "PROBLEMATIC" INSTANCES, BECAUSE IT ISN'T WRITTEN ANYWHERE.
* He makes no attempt to acknowledge other instances as legitimate unless signups are too swamped to handle, like yesterday. He certainly refuses to acknowledge other fedi platforms such as Pleroma or GNU/Social as legitimate. He clearly wants to be the Jack of "Mastodon", and rues the fact that the constraints of the GPL (or whatever license it was) meant he had to allow decentralised and open access to "his" platform software.
* While I personally have nothing against the use of Patreon to try and make a living from projects like this, I think it's obvious that part of his motivation for "protecting" his grasp on Mastodon is protection of his income stream. If you're the kind of person who came to fedi to avoid capital-driven development then ruminate on that.
* He won't fucking budge on issues that his own users are screaming for, like long post handling and collapsing, but he'll gladly spend weeks implementing trending tags, a feature people fucking detest.
"But he did so much work building a sophisticated platform!" I hear you cry. Well, Bill Gates did so much work building a sophisticated operating system and I don't see you praising him for it, because you recognise that on balance, he's a CUNT.

@maxmustermann @detectivehyde while you're at it do try to find out who was right on whether gargon is actually a merchant
-
@detectivehyde well @maxmustermann refuses to believe it so
-
@maxmustermann @detectivehyde i'm talking about race, not religion
-
@hakui @detectivehyde There is finally some concrete evidence that Gargamehl is Jewish.
>I feel like Christmas has lost its religious backing for almost every sane person. It's not about Christ anymore, but about traditions, family, and presents. I'm an atheist from a Jewish background and I have a Christmas tree standing in the living room, and listening to Christmas tunes makes me feel warm inside.
