    Oh, I got banished from a whole instance on Mastadon for saying that the Apple Safari team looks at every bug request (and they do):

    Little fucking Napoleons will ruin social media, not matter what platform.

      You sure it wasn’t because the admins harbor deep resentment toward both Dutch people and guys named James and you just had the bad fortune to exemplify everything they hate?

        First off, …HEY! 🧐

        Secondly, this isn’t “Goldmember”. Should I arbitrarily hate other countries for shits and giggles? …And who says I’m even Dutch? Maybe I’m like Kirk and I only work in The Netherlands.

        Thirdly, they seem to love to hate on Apple there. I had the comeuppance to suggest Jen Simmons and the Safari team actually read the bug submissions (and she’s recently been on numerous videos, podcasts, and in posts on Mastadon saying so) and pushed back on their emoji-malarky.

        On some instances, opinions other than the admins need not apply. Hopefully you’re not suggesting as much, even with the digs at the Dutch (who aren’t that bad, but like many, many other countries, aren’t all good either).

          Absolutely not, I didn’t mean to imply approval, merely to make fun of bad mods by ascribing bigotry to them 😉

          And who says I’m even Dutch? Maybe I’m like Kirk and I only work in The Netherlands

          True, but anyone unreasonable enough to be bigoted towards the Dutch probably don’t care about such distinctions 🤷

          they seem to love to hate on Apple there

          That’s the only thing they’re right about, though. They shouldn’t have banned you for your comment, especially not if it’s true, but Apple DOES suck in nearly every way possible 🤷

          Yeah, I’ve noticed lol

          Hopefully you’re not suggesting as much, even with the digs at the Dutch

          For the record, I’m a big fan of the Dutch in general 😄

          Belgians I can take or leave, though…except on second thought they make some truly wonderful beer so they can stay 😁😉

            If I only hate the Dutch that means all people I hate must be Dutch. Simple as.

            All cool on many things, except one:

            they seem to love to hate on Apple there

            To which, all I can say is:

      Which instance? We should maintain a list of these instances to ensure we don’t lose our data due to idiots like them.
