It is a very, very, very small percentage of the Fediverse that is engaging this in abusive, hyper-aggressive bullying behavior.

But, they have had a negative effect on the Fediverse.

There is lots of talking about a Fedi "culture" that allows this and expects that. But the real culture is that we allow these gatekeepers and bullies to shout, despite that they don't represent the Fediverse, "the community" or "the culture". Every time a developer folds the bullies win and we lose.
