@fraying That sheer audacity of these folks to just jump in with disingenuous insults and assumptions is as repulsive as it is unnecessary.

Fwiw I appreciate your insights on things.

@jankhambrams I understand feeling angry at what's happening and powerless to stop it and lashing out online, but at least aim for someone who actually disagrees and maybe has an iota of power over it. This infighting is just poison to everyone involved.

@fraying 100% agreed. This takes that feeling of powerlessness into a very counterproductive direction. Like, way to undercut the damn point, ya know?

It's a sad thing to witness. Whatever they're hoping to achieve, this ain't the way to make things better.

@jankhambrams Agreed.

Screaming is easy. Old fashioned community building is real work.

@fraying Yeah that was sooo out of hand?! One of those accounts looked like a bot. Do we have those on Mastodon now? Sorry that happened friend.

@daniel_meyers happens every time I talk about it anywhere - not just here. Really wish our movement was about gathering like minds together instead of shouting each other down.
