Mastodon instances admins are going through a very challenging time right now.
They have difficult, often heartbreaking, decisions to make 💔
They have a lot of changes to managed :blob_dizzy_face:
They have large influx in traffic to deal with :blobastonished:
And they have to deal with all of our comments and strong opinions about this :oh_no:
Be Kind with instance administrators and moderation teams. Even when you do not agree with their choices. You can state your opinion, but always remain polite and empathetic.
This is volunteer work!
They all deserve our kindness 💚
@Em0nM4stodon and the beauty of Mastodon/fediverse is that if you don’t like your admin’s decision, you can migrate to a different instance that aligns with your opinions.
I'm with you. It's often hard to believe, for many, that some people out there do work because they believe in the good it can bring. Someone has to cut the new path through the jungle, and it is not for the weak of heart.
Decentralization of social media, among many other things, will fix a lot of the biggest problems with social media BECAUSE it is decentralized.
Decentralized is democratic social media, and centralized is autocratic social media.
