I don't hate ActivityPub. I don't hate the many devs and admins that make the Fediverse happen. I don't hate the average person who's just going about their business on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Kbin, etc.
I hate the fact that, all day today, I've been constantly pinged regarding some sort of Fedi drama that I only slightly understand because I'm trying really, really hard to pay attention to my wife and kid on a day they want to celebrate with me.
The Fediverse is an important part of my life, but it is not my life.
As important as Meta joining the Fediverse is, it's not more important than my family.
Sadly, more than once today, i had to clear up confusion because if I didn't nip it in the bud, certain people -- who exist purely to drum up drama -- would continue spreading rumours and outright lies that are blatantly untrue.
Shame on anyone who can't handle the fact I don't live the entirety of my life on the Internet.
Some of you should turn off your phones and touch grass.
@atomicpoet this is a problem i see with communal/opensourcy things, people have very little respect for admin/koder time. I chose to isolate completely after years of dealing with BS, don't know if it's good but I do enjoy grass these days =)
@atomicpoet Sorry you had (or are still having, sadly) to go through that. Today has been rather tiring for me on this platform, as well. I guess a temporary solution would be putting on a filter for a day or so until it blows over?
It'd be great if that wasn't something people had to do, though, I understand.
