It sounds like a lot of mastodon people want to post in public but also have everybody leave them alone as if it's not public. As far as I can see, their current strategy for achieving this is yelling very loudly in public posts hoping everyone else will see it and then shift everything around in order to accommodate them.

It's a bold strategy. I look forward to finding out if it works.

I'm good at making passive-aggressive shade posts. But I don't mind being more clear. I think this is the early dates of figuring out how to co-exist in a federated space. We are working out how to give people the kind of semi-private space that most suites them. I'm all for that, but I think it will take a while. Meanwhile, people are starting where they usually start. "Let me just yell at other people and try to get them to do what I think they should do." That literally never works.

I Love It, when people show up in a thread trying to prove their point and then 2-3 exchanges later rage quit and blocks me. Amusing!
