I really only ever spend time and energy criticizing things if I think my notes might help make them better.

That is 100% the vibe I tried to bring to the Mastodon criticisms here—I really like this place, but I *really* want it to work better for more people who aren't like me.

@kissane "that valuing a “pleasant UI” over the abstraction of federation is shallow and disqualifying" - this is the same vibe as linux nerds. There's a sort of masochistic pride in overcoming painful UX for the principle of it.
