• Mastodon had a relatively large and active group of users who were there for a certain set of reasons, and those reasons included being hidden away from other people.

      They didn’t take well to the influx of difference. But then, that influx outnumbered them 4:1 and could have just ignored them.

      Here, though, the influx outnumbered the existing user base by several thousand to one, and no thought has been given to whether anyone should care about lemmygrad. They can, and will, continue to do their own thing.
