Oh god, that headline. Do we really have to push the flagship instance's CoC as the defining feature?

@HolicShot The article wasn't terrible.... there were just a couple things that bugged me about it. So of course I had to whine about them.

@kevin_redacted Yes. It will incentivize the assholes to come here, which will incentivize current mastodons to migrate to moistier pastures, and create topic-specific instances, each with a custom policy of its own, to make the system as a whole better. Long-term win, I guess.

@kevin_redacted what else were you expecting? I thought it was quite good all things considered. I'm taking a very long view on this strategically tho @kodo

@five @kodo Yeah, I didn't think it was a terrible article, I was just bugged by the headline.

@five @kodo @kevin_redacted editors typically write or rewrite headlines, often optimized for clicks and shareability rather than faithfulness to content

@kevin_redacted I am not sure how far this interesting notion that there is a Nazi in every other household has penetrated, but for the sliver of humanity which finds that unlikely, a headline like that sounds literally crazy. Twitter is "Twitter without the Nazis" within a tiny epsilon.

@kevin_redacted That's such a beautiful headline, though. :joy:
