@blaine That's a very far cry from what my message said. I must assume you haven't read the thread I linked. I was responding to someone claiming they felt like an unpaid SRE for our organisation because there weren't enough customization options built into the software. I pointed out that they run a commercial service on top of it, and benefit from the recognition and goodwill of our brand.

@Gargron I believe you that it was a far cry from what you intended. 💜

The BDFL approach is complicating in these scenarios, because in social settings "benevolence" to one is "hostile" to another.

I think @swetland's point gets to the root of this: https://chaos.social/@swetland/110130547164629389

It's absolutely fine for one person to have a strong view of what "Mastodon, the software" is, but anyone dictating what the Fediverse is anathema to us all. It gets messy when "Mastodon" is used for "the Fediverse."
