Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It’s not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

The sort of sneering at newbies is exactly the sort of shit that in no small part gave Mastodon a reputation of being hostile to outsiders.
If we want this shit to take off as something other than a nerd curio, it needs to be accessible, not delivered with a side helping of judgment for not being 100% on board with the endeavour from the beginning.
Yeah, there was definitely a lot of, “If you don’t like it, go back to the bird site” around the time I first signed up to Mastodon. It seems to have fallen off a lot now. It presumably will here too. Even if something has only been around a short while, a culture gets established. There’s bound to be some friction when a bunch of new people show up, and some of it will be unpleasant on both sides. Hopefully, things will reach a new equilibrium soon and it’s one we can all live with.
