I'm starting to get the feeling that the Fedi Mafia doesn't REALLY care about anything on Fedi, they're just bored as hell all the time and want to stir up some drama to giggle at.

I don't see harassing developers as something to giggle at, but with their consistent absolute ignorance of the platform and unwillingness to see how harassment is hurting the platform, I can't help but think they're just really bored assholes.

If it's useful to Fedi, they harass and threaten the developer so that others will talk about them. Because any attention is good attention to these assholes.

If it's not useful, they just ignore it and the project doesn't go anywhere cause it's not useful.🤦‍♂️

Ignore hate. Build useful Fedi tools.

Threats and harassment are ridiculous.

So disappointing to realise that, in all this #Fedicate mess, it's been developed by someone who runs @transpride. I spent years in that city working on queer issues and queer liberation, and I hate that a tool that can (and will) so easily be used to abuse trans people has been written by someone who claims to fight for us.

Please, developers. Remember that nobody's safety is less important than your ego - it's okay to create something then go "oh shit sorry yeah my bad" and stop it.

It's ok to realise/admit that you don't know everything. It's ok to be wrong and learn from your mistakes.

It's not okay to ignore the overwhelming feedback from the community you claim to be fighting for, nor to try and guilt people into not being open with this feedback if you're running a public service.

Sigh.

I've been hard at work making the users section look that little bit more pleasing for Fedicate.

I will be looking further into automating the process to update minor things such as profile pictures and other things on the database but for now the manual way is plenty fine.

Thank you for everyone that has submitted Instances & Software that should be added to Fedicate. Keep up the good work and if you haven't already check it out on
