If, they can’t, should Beehaw plan to fall out with them and lose the ability to be heard about our concerns for the direction of development, or to try to be diplomatic and foster a good working relationship that doesn’t hurt their feelings whether we think it is legitimate for them to be that sensitive or not?

if they can’t handle “wow we don’t like the new UI decisions” and that causes a falling out then i question why we or anyone else would even continue to use their software. in any case though i severely doubt they care. we’ve openly called their political views abhorrent and said we disagree with them in the very context of justifying why we even use their software and are still amicable with them. they’re adults who do this for a living, they’re probably more weirded out by users thinking it’s strange to have admins on this software disagreeing publicly with some of the directions they’ve taken it if anything
