@shel This made me laugh but I still don't understand the whole "mastodon versus anything" situation since they all work together?

So-Shel-ist @shel@cybre.space

@adamk678 there's like this one social group who was on GNU/Social like 7 months before Mastodon started who REALLY hates Mastodon for Various Legitimate and Illegitimate Reasons and the lead developers of both postActiv and Pleroma came out of that social group. so there's just like... an existing social spat.

Kroeg and Smilodon aren't and I'm joking about the versus thing happening.

@shel @adamk678 I hope both have their niche. A monoculture isn't good for anyone IMO. There were also just cultural differences that I think became points of tension with a massive influx of new users.

@anarchosaurus @shel I hope people can put their old bad blood aside, or at least take some measures to not get new people caught up in it unnecessarily. I don't want it to reach a point where old beefs fester and become too intimidating to new users that don't have the context to understand why "drama" is happening. I personally think it's great that there's all these different systems out there that can work together in a really cool way.

@adamk678 @shel I haven't seen it as much recently. Whenever it's mentioned it always seems tongue-in-cheek to me now
