Listen up, all my 0 followers, I have an opinion! 😂
I believe we should focus less on how bad the bird and it's owner are and more on what #mastodon and the #fediverse is good at.
I understand that the #johnmastodon influx is shifting the discussion a bit and recognize that the focus is already shifting in the direction mentioned above.
Let's keep making social media what it should be!

@Crates

Build up instead of tearing down.

@crcarlin 100%. And I'm not saying not to criticize, I am saying let's not have criticism be the foundation of our platform
@Crates @crcarlin Bit it is always fun to mock unhinged billionaire man-babies. 😀

@Nirodha

Is it, though?
I find it pretty boring myself, and it does have some pretty big downsides.

For one, it's offputting to outsiders.

For another, keep in mind that trolls thrive on the attention. It's exactly what they're after. So giving them that attention encourages their misbehavior.

Like I said, I'm far more interested in building up than tearing down into mudwrestling the pig.

@crcarlin you make a good point.
