       I feel like I've been using fedi a whole less often nowadays, a sentiment that I feel has been reflected with my friends as well.While I've been using Fedi for 3 years now, and have gathered a not insubstantial following, the general community in the past few months is something that has been rather grating on me. I vehemently despise open source rhetoric, and general mindsets that encompass the open source community.I hoped, rather fruitlessly, that Fedi could be something other than "The Open Source Community's Solution To Twitter".I wish Fedi could be more, could be better, however the people who surround it are the same knuckleheads who give other Open Source services a bad reputation for being extremely gatekeepy, reclusive, and rather supremacist in their software choices and decisions.I know that hypocritically speaking, being less active as an individual on this platform has only caused this problem to exacerbate, but it really does kinda feel like with the rest of my friends moving back to Twitter, there isn't really a big reason to stay here except to get frustrated at FOSSoids who give unsolicited software recommendations while also treating you like you're an inferior bastard for liking Arch instead of Gentoo.Its not a failure of mastodon, nor is it a failure of the fediverse as a concept, its just a failure of who it appeals to most and how they market themselves.

       This is me acknowledging my recent decline in activity, and the possible reasons as to why it may be.Techier posts do rather good on this platform, a lot better than they do on Twitter, so don't take this as me saying I'll cease posting and interacting with the community.But as a rule of thumb, if you want to see me post in an environment that I feel is less hostile, please follow me on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/solarness6

       @ioletsgo Is it really less hostile in there? Maybe it's due to limiting myself to the local timeline on Fedi, but I feel like I've encountered way more posts from transphobes / bigots / awful people when browsing through Twitter stuff.
