Lmao now my PR to remove trending hashtags is getting negative reactions 👌 👌

Look y'all here because I built Mastodon the way I wanted and you happened to like it. If you no longer like it that's your own business, don't give me shit about your failed expectations. There's the door, there's the code, there's the alternatives. The shit I've received today just because I was open to something that a part of the community wanted is completely inacceptable.

@gargron oh lucky you with time, resources and knowledge to do such a thing.

@zeezeemoomoo @Gargron This is nonsencical, he used his most precious resource, (time), to build something he wanted to see. You have the time to write this toot, so you can use it instead to make something useful, bit by bit. That's what I am doing anyway, building something I want to exist, tiny bit at a time. You can do the same and it will be much more appreciated than what you just wrote. You'll feel better for it too, believe me.

@MatejLach @gargron

youve made several false assumptions:
1. that everyone has time and energy
2. that eugen receieves no compensation or credit for his work
3. eugen is the only contributor to mastodon

@zeezeemoomoo @Gargron Also, don't frame this as his privilege, something is just dedication and passion. You don't know what he had to sacrifice to be able to work on mastodon, back when nobody knew about it.

@MatejLach @gargron oh so he has stuff to sacrifice? thats privilege.

@zeezeemoomoo @Gargron Everybody does have stuff to sacrifice, every single one of us, the question is how much you're willing to give up now, in order to peruse what you believe in, despite the challenges.

@MatejLach @gargron I don't have stuff to sacrifice. I have mental health issues and a family that doesn't understand well enough to be supportive. Those mental health problems include autism, depression and anxiety. I hardly have energy for anything

@zeezeemoomoo @Gargron So why use the little energy you have left to attack somebody who has been the subject of abuse for the past day for listening to the community, just apparently not the right people to not get abuse. If you yourself are facing abuse, why spread it around?
