My opinion of the #fosstodon drama:

It's fair to expect mods to be on the right side of history, and not to have heinous views. And it's fair to call this out. At the same time, this server is run by VOLUNTEERS. The needless attacks, the immediate moves and blocks, and the insane expectation for @mike and @kev to constantly be on top of this and aware of about 500 threads of toots at the same time (and on different platforms) is SO TOXIC. Yall need to CHILL. Everyone is just doing their best.

@Gina @mike @kev the fediverse is a world where intolerance is not tolerated and where many users take a safe refuge from many attacks. This is how it works. It's not twitter. This safety and trust expectation is built-in and any failure of safety is an important threat for these people. This has to be respected. It is not hard to satisfy. A moderator who has been reported for intolerance must be suspended FIRST and investigated NEXT. Fortunately we're free to move for increased protection.

@f4grx @Gina @mike @kev it will be interesting to see how the next team sets things up.

Im lazy and so havent migrated yet. I like the idea of a reasonably big instance, that I throw money at, to ensure its stability... which is why i came here and havent moved yet.

But all that can't be at the cost of core values, and I have been closely watching the recent events.
