Thank you. I'm sorry if I was overly abrasive or rude, but it's getting really old. People have sent me horrible things because of this. I've had to start withdrawing from joining new places under my main identity. Just please take one femtoiota of care that the other side is also a human being with thoughts, feelings, and that they may just be incredibly tired of hearing people complain about something.

It's kind of an ingenious way to weed out people who are engaging in bad faith. Like if you're choosing not to use a very useful piece of software because of some aesthetic sensibility, maybe I want to be able to identify you more easily.

Fwiw I like the mascot but I also don't associate this username with my actual identity because I draw anime style pixel art, so I get it.

I legit didn't read any rudeness, it was a graceful retort.

> People have sent me horrible things because of this.

That sucks, and I see how it makes my (somewhat) measured reaction scan differently.

> Just please take one femtoiota of care that the other side is also a human being with thoughts, feelings, and that they may just be incredibly tired of hearing people complain about something.

Your shit rocks, your stuff on Tailscale in particular inspired me greatly, and I'm sorry you caught me seeing orange.

> Can't fault the logic. Will never use it if that's part of what they've chosen to paywall.

Is pretty damn rude. It's the kind of thing you say online but would never say face-to-face.

I'm not sure we agree on what constitutes "pretty damn rude". It was an inelegant, hastily expressed opinion.

Thank you for what you do. I have zero use for Anubis nor have I personally encountered the problem it's meant to solve, but I'll readily support the girl, she is very cute. Never listen to the blisteringly lukewarm takes of the corpo venturecapitariat.

Thank you. I swear some people here have had their innate sense of whimsy surgically removed, or it's some kind of transphobia. Either way, it's frustrating to hear the people here bitch so much about something so minor.
