it's amazing how quickly "ha ha Mastodon safe space"
becomes "oh we totally want to keep operating with Mastodon properly let's all be very cooperative and oh yes our devs will shunt our shitbaggery to side accounts so we don't look total assholes"
it's almost like they're lying and they want to cling, remora-like, to the momentum Masto was lucky to find
as for efficiency: I'd take "unoptimized with decent people" over shitpeople with optimization every fucking day
