Absolutely - some real luddites / moaning minnies on Twitter without mentioning any names...
@megalithic @tomthemac @christina@social.coop Some of us are just trying to learn. And honestly we don’t need to be called Luddites. Are you actually helping people? Or are you all just feeling superior? Because it’s really starting to come off that way to some of us
@neelibby @megalithic @tomthemac Nobody here hold any authority over anyone, don't worry. Some people might come across as if they own the place, whether they intend to or not, but that's just how people are. The fact is that the only ones in charge are the administrators of each instance, and most instances are newer than the Twitter migration. You own the place as much as anyone. :)
...and knowing the ideologies around here, I'm not sure luddite is even that negative! Haha
