You know Mastodon doesn’t sound too bad in this analysis. It will really be astonishingly ironic if that turns out to be the final destination

I would bet money that whatever they say is not going to include the word “Black”. I really don’t think they understand what is happening here.

Angry. And also baffled. The dev team isn’t even pretending to care at this point

It’s not at all clear that they do. This silence has gone on so long it invites speculation that they haven’t a clue what is happening

I know we have our issues with mastodon but there is something wonderfully refreshing about Eugen's attitude in this Esquire piece from 2018

I can’t help feeling warmly toward mastodon despite the weird fussiness that one gets there. People are so endearingly earnest. Bluesky feels frenetic by comparison and I have the feeling of speaking into the wind.

Well I mean … there’s mastodon

Me too. A whole room full of them

You can't win if the talent level on your team is significantly less than your competition. Half of the available top talent for your company is non-dudes. About 15% of it is Black.

Go ahead and pretend that you don't notice that most of the companies taking financial Ls right now, are bad at DEI.

(I got that you were joking!)

Most of the writers I’ve known have spent years broke with no health insurance, though not always *quite* broke enough to qualify for Medicaid. It’s fucking miserable
