But the fact is, it isn&#39;t. It&#39;s just like everywhere else online”</p><p>TRUE. It’s friendly and welcoming as long as you’re willing to contribute to the self-reinforcing echo chamber. No one interested in alternative views and if you have any, blocks fly left and right (after they get in the last word, of course).</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> </p><p>Thanks for all your time and effort Kev (and co.) in keeping this instance operational.</p><p>Fosstodon never did me wrong. It&#39;s been a solid instance over the years and gave me some hope for the success of alternatives to mainstream centralised systems. All in all, from my perspective, it has been a great success.</p>

<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> I wish you a good recovery and happier times :blobheartcat:</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> ah, that sucks, mate. I&#39;ve had no idea that this has been happening. Fosstodon has been a smooth ride for me and the experience so far has been great. No doubt your efforts and that of the rest of the team have made this possible.</p><p>Take care of yourself and good luck in the future endeavors!</p>

<p>Going to spend some time setting up for the upcoming compilers course and then it&#39;s off to more Rust hacking. I sometimes wonder if I should blog a bit about that. Maybe.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> good call and thanks for all your hard work and time!</p><p>Also sorry to hear about all this. You&#39;re right, once you get a &quot;certain&quot; kind of people, the drama will not be worth all the hassle anymore.</p><p>I also don&#39;t know why these types of people can&#39;t just create their own instance with their own idealogy in mind? </p><p>Why do they need to force others to do it? </p><p>This is insanity. Preaching acceptance and forcing everyone else to apply their idealogy.</p>
