Me: I'm bummed many of my friends on Twitter haven't migrated or aren't as active here.
(Some, not all) Responses: Maybe your friends are dumb. Maybe they're not really your friends. *My* friends all moved here.
Me Remembering the last time I posted something remotely critical of Mastodon: Oh... right...
@shawnp0wers It is another example of how quickly people can form factions/sides they identify with, and "other sides" that are the enemy. Then if anyone with less extreme, more nuanced/balanced views on things dares to say something critical of "their side" (or favorable of the "other side") it must mean you are with the enemy.
I do wish people were more capable of seeing issues and opinions past a binary "us" vs "them" because few things fit so neatly into a dichotomy.
