Just had another run in with someone that earnestly asked why #Friendica doesn't have the same amount of users as Facebook or Telegram, and then spouting random nonsense about how hobby (what Friendica is) and business (what Facebook and Telegram are) doesn't necessarily need to be separated, mentioning Elon Musk in the process.

My patience for someone wanting to make #Friendica into something it isn't and realistically can't be eventually ran out and I blocked them.

♲ @hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com: With each new #Facebook scandal like the recent WhatsApp-related one, the #Fediverse welcomes a wave of new users and admins. #Friendica gets its tiny share of the newly converted to decentralized social media. Some stick, most don't, but there's always this one guy (it's always a man) whose first few messages on GitHub are to angrily complain that Friendica isn't user-friendly enough and that it is spelling doom for a project they didn't know the day before and for the #Fediverse as a whole.

This has been going on ever since I joined the project in 2016, and we're still here. 🤷♂️
