   To add to that, the Mastodon userbase is very interesting because it's "rules for thee but not for me".
   
   Which is why there's splits between the userbase with adding in basic features Twitter has, because they're of the mindset that the feature existing is why harassment happens. It's the big tech mindset and they can get away with it for one major reason; they own the show or they're the biggest guys in town. Quote posting (exists on Soapbox and variations do on Misskey/Pleroma), a half-decent search function, and more are why Twitter users harass each other and not the fact that Twitter users are psychotic.
   
   This has two major consequences; the first is that Twitter users come in asking where are the basic features and leave when they run into the Mastodon community whining at them for daring to ask. The second is that the other fedi instance devs don't share this POV and they want as many features as possible to fuck Twitter into the ground, and so Misskey/Pleroma have more features than Mastodon does.
   
   In other words Eugen has the big tech cattle herder or college "reducing harassment" journal writer mindset, while the other guys on the fedi have the "new cool startup tech company" mindset. Eugen is no different than a Google employee explaining why breaking the website stops Nazis. The difference is very real.
