I find it ironic that they say fake niceness will only scare people off, but all the “ethos engineering” only promotes a culture of fake niceness. I don’t buy all this “walled utopia” idealism, especially since this place isn’t like Discord with private servers, but a public interconnected forum. Why choose to set up on the Fediverse if you’re not open to ”strangers” accessing your community? But oh well, I think they’ll probably defederate more and more over time (or switch to whitelist).
Reminds me a bit of parents who want the benefit of just putting their kid on the internet so they don't have to entertain the kid themselves but then try to censor everyone when the kid finds anything online they didn't want the kid to see.
