Alex has shit opinions, 100%. But the back and forths in the Pleroma MRs linked are at the level of high school catty drama. And that applies to everyone in there, on both sides. I feel like every single MR listed would have gone completely differently if the people involved treated the others as humans and actually worked towards building better software. At the end of the day, the commits were simple enough and could have been worked on had the people there actually wanted to do that. But instead they all just turned into name-calling high school kids. In short, everyone there needs to grow up.

And while I agree that a one man shop in the form of Soapbox is likely not going to last, I wouldn’t put my support in for Pleroma based on what I read either.
