@lain

i think people are starting to realize that we are not horrible people :)

@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

@cwebber @kaniini

@lain was literally one of the first people I muted on Mastodon and only a week or two after I muted them I realized "oh shit they're the pleroma person wtf"

Christopher Lemmer Webber @cwebber@octodon.social

@phoe @kaniini well.. I've subscribed to @lain and unsubscribed again before a few times, and looking at their timeline, stuff like pleroma.soykaf.com/objects/a72 and pleroma.soykaf.com/objects/b93 is why, and probably is why people get that impression.

(Lain, sorry to talk about you in the third person as if you aren't here. But consider that feedback I guess?)

@cwebber @lain @kaniini @phoe I honestly don't see how either of those posts could be construed as negative

the first is lain making fun of signs being the wrong way, the second is lain saying yikes to someone posting an obvious jewish stereotype

@pea @cwebber @lain
@kaniini actually it is not really about either of these two posts to me - it's more about me not being used to the fact that the tech leader for a project can be such a massive and shameless shitposter

@pea @cwebber @lain @kaniini TIL you can effectively shitpost using just the Mastodon favourite button

time to go to sleep

PEA @pea@fuckonthefirst.date
@phoe @kaniini @lain @cwebber i sincerely hope you never have to interact with half of the core developers and project leads i've interacted with on fedi :p
Steph @kurisu@iscute.moe
@pea @phoe @kaniini @lain @cwebber i shitpost pretty hard for a core dev

this is my private acocunt and dont discuss what I work on much here though. And I wouldn't dream of bringing up my fedi account to fellow contributors.

Lain can shitpost because lain is behind the shield of anonymity, and lain is working on a project that isn't serious buisness. I wish for that kind of freedom. All the more power to lain for pulling it off and having fun.
