Considering how few references there were in the post, and your projection onto it. I think you may be part of the group he's talking about that is causing him to close up shop. Its just my speculation though. If I'm right, how does that make you feel? Are you happy he's closing up the instance and leaving the Fediverse or are you sad that a heavy contributor to the Fediverse is leaving?
He's explicitly talking about detracting people who are "violent" and call him a "bootlicker" for "deescalating". It seems like it's moderator speak for "people are saying politicians/billionaires should die and that personally offends me". It's enlightened centrism. People came to Lemmy explicitily because Reddit bans you for disliking billionaires now.
Like, the entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. It's a collection of decentralized servers who can connect to each other but have their own rules. Someone going to develop for the LITERAL ANARCHIST SOCIAL MEDIA STRUCTURE and then getting surprised that everyone on it is anti-capitalist and anti-billionaire is the epitome of arrogance and lack of self-awareness.
Being an anarchist isn't an excuse to be a dick y'know.
That's, uh, not my experience.
Not a valid excuse, at least
