@kaniini I suspect a lot of the hate for Pleroma comes from two sources:
- Historic "political division" between GNU Social and Mastodon as in terms of leftie vs alt-right (which wasn't even GNU Social's developers' doing or desire really), some folks from that space moving to Pleroma and thus to a lot of folks Pleroma being mentally branded that way
- @lain is the fediverse's class clown and recent events have lead many people to associate that kind of irreverent humor with undesirable stuff
@deadsuperhero @kaniini I'm not making a judgement call, just giving my analysis
also I don't know how @lain will feel about being labeled "the fediverse's class clown" but I suspect they won't deny it ;)
@deadsuperhero @kaniini @lain fwiw I'm glad Pleroma exists and I hope that:
a) development continues and is great
b) a diverse set of users adopt it
does Pleroma have a code of conduct btw? Might send (part of) the right message to adopt one
@hector @cwebber @lain @kaniini @deadsuperhero Du bist kein Gangster, nein, denn du dealst mit Dope (dealst mit Dope).
Du bist nicht real.
Du bist nur Show (Nur. Show.)
