It should come as no surprise that I post some content on one network (a high level point) when the much more detailed points were here already by myself and others.

That's not "licking one's wounds" that existing concurrently in multiple spaces.

The fediverse lives by donations from billionaires and grants from the EU, whilst relying on hundreds or thousands of unpaid people's labour in running the infrastructure, moderating the network, developing the software.

If y'all are really throwing rocks at other protocols and projects, I suggest you get your house in order first. The more this goes on, the more you'll loose talented people who don't want to deal with this for far too little money.

Oh, and thank the individual contributors more, because they're secretly the lifeblood of projects.
