If you want to make something on the Fediverse, please make it. If someone tells you they don't like it or they don't think it's necessary, tell them they don't have to use it. It's a big Fediverse out there. Lots of open space.

@evan Showing commitment and giving feedback seems to me a good thing. Feeling stepped on the long toes because something does not meet expectations is not helpful. Remember that nobody makes anything perfect right away, that a product is never finished. Many iterations are often required to achieve a good product. With Mastodon's success, responsibility comes as well.
And if you see someone make something you don't like or want, but it's not hurting you, please let them enjoy it.
@evan we should probably be teaching people how to give respectful, constructive feedback in school. So often, you really wonder whether a negative comment on some site is intended to actually help or just some miserable person venting. That, of some sort of tribalism that one project might impact their preferred project in some way.
