"If you don't like it, do your own!" is a very Mastodon statement, and is why people don't choose Mastodon or the Fediverse.🤷🏿‍♂️

If I go to buy a car, and I tell the salesman, "Hmm, I wish it had more trunk space." The salesman might say, "Sure! Hold on one minute!" and go to the back room, and come back with some sheet metal, some cans of paint, an airbrush, an arc welder, and a grinder. With a big grin he says, "If you don't like the trunk, you can build your own! Modify your car! It's allowed!"

No.

I'm not modifying my car. I don't want to be an automotive engineer. I just want to drive to work and back.

Rather than start welding, I will just go to another manufacturer, and buy a car that is similar but with more trunk space.

This post is about moderation and safety on Mastodon.
