Its a very interesting feeling. On one hand Im proud because Lemmy has come so far. Two years ago there was only one instance dev.lemmy.ml and no federation. On the other hand disappointed, because some people are unable to appreciate how much time and work I put into this project. Its especially ironic that these attacks are coming from people who pretend to represent the working class.
There is no context but maybe that is a signal user base is growing and disseminating. IMO it is mostly disappoiting when people make personal attacks instead of productively criticizing ideas/content and objectively help improve the project.
