The irony of people on mastodon piling on a Twitter person asking for a feature because it would make mastodon more hostile is not lost on me. I hope they can see it too.
In all cases, the #mostimportant thing I've learned over the years of managing a couple of large #online #communities is to resist the #temptation to get drawn into #flamewars and to instead remain #focused on the positive.
I may (or may not) agree with the opinions stated, but generally find it more positive to just let these die out rather than fanning the #flames in question. Because not much of it really mattered in the end.
Yeah, I know... ymmv™ but Merry Xmas all the same.
@francoisknyc Well said! And I endorse this position!
