@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
honestly...thanks for the input personally I have no idea of its use but ay, maybe it will help :)
@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
Shit, that's the best breakdown of the CoC I've ever seen.
@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.)
I'm of the impression that CoCs create a hostile environment for socially awkward/clumsy people, and end up being selectively enforced for political reasons, causing projects to descend into toxic drama and core developers leaving over it.
There have been numerous notable cases of CoCs destroying projects by encouraging 'conduct' that harms and excludes far more than the absence of a CoC does.
@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 ;)
