>Others have documented the sordid tale of Mastodon’s development better than I could, but suffice it to say that many queer people, people of color, and women have been cast aside by Rochko despite significant and often culturally defining contributions to the software and ecosystem.

This is why pandering to extremists never works.

It's time that everyone born after 1980 realize the Christ Freak of your childhoods has wrapped herself up in rainbows and moved onto a new culture to destroy.

In 202X The last refuge of the scoundrel is diversity.

what's the link between your quote and "pandering to extremists" ? who is the extremist in your reasoning ?

i'm trying to follow your argument but i honestly couldn't ( i also haven't followed mastodon dev story, so maybe that's why)

An extremist is someone who can't change her mind and won't change the subject.
That definition would make anyone who refuses to be silent about injustice an extremist.
No, those people are idiots.

Don't just talk about injustice, do something about it.
