   No matter what I do, it will always be not enough or too much.

     @satori You do a great deal for the website. People will be critics, but I will say, you are great for the kindness alone of hosting this instance. There is only so much a human being can do, so don't beat yourself up too much.

     @satori
     Baraag is my home. Without your support and the balls to stand up to people attempting to bully us off the internet, I wouldn't have the ability to feel safe publishing my art online to an audience.
     Whatever is eating at you, just know that I and others are grateful for this place.❤️

     @satori As long as a human is still breathing there will be someone voicing a complaint.

     This platform is fantastic. I love that there is a community that can be honest with their fantasies while at the same time not allowing promotion of real life abuse.

     The new style is really pleasing to the eyes too!

     Thank you for making it accessible and easy to use.

     @satori There's always push back to design changes, but I can confidently say this update is amazing and I'm very grateful for your thoughtfulness and for creating this space in general.

     This update made it so I don't have to use and maintain an old userstyle for the site (Modern Rounded Baraag) because it pretty much addresses all the same things (even if not rounded lol, but I don't have a preference for that one way or the other).

     I'm not a baraag supporter for nothing, thank you, truly.

     @satori For anything, you can't really please everyone. Especially when more recipients appear and make their own thoughts heard, as negative as it may be

     The best that can be done is your own pace and level of things, and hope folks would appreciate it nonetheless

     If it's on baraag, you do good work here, so you have my thanks at least.

     If it's personal, then I hope others would appreciate what you do, whatever it may be. You did something for them, and that's worth something, always

     @satori Ignore them. Me included.
     I mutter occasionally if I'm in a foul mood because I'm at liberty to do it but no one save for you have the whole picture about the realities of hosting the site. And even if they did, it's your site.
     Make whatever decisions you feel are best or even just appeal to you the most.

     @satori As a disclaimer, I can't know for sure what the context is exactly, but I predict is has something to do with the new UI.

     People will get used to it. Sure there are some bugs, but they're small in my opinion. If you give it some time, everyone will get settled in sooner or later. I can only imagine the weight of carrying a platform as big as this one, but you're doing an amazing job. You deserve a vacation if anything.

     @satori People are often vocal when it comes to complaints, rarely or never when they are happy or satisfied. As an artist, one simply has to look around and see if they can find any other frequented, open platform with a fairly decent handling with all kind of nsfw art, and they will quickly figure that the freedom of possibilities to post and see that stuff is nothing you can take for granted, and baraag is by far one of a few healthy and safe places that offers a good infrastructure for this

     @satori Sometimes managing discord groups and other stuff gives me anxiety. I can imagine moderating stuff and being the owner of such a large site is a lot of pressure.
     I dont mind the update, i found the content warning description useful for when i draw weird shit lol.
     Try not to worry about stuff like that :biglove:

     @satori This is easily the best website I’ve found in my life in terms of rules and features that best serve artists and community. Negative reactions will probably often be the quickest and loudest. Sometimes it may even be that people don’t notice the tone of their criticisms. Easier said than done but I guess maybe try to separate criticism of the site and self.

     I’m sure running this all takes more juggling than most of us realize. I hope all is as well as it can be.

     @satori I think you're doing well and holding the balance overall. We're surrounded by angry lunatics on all sides these days, everyone wants to attack you the moment they don't get their way to the letter: It was never possible to please everyone, more so today in the insane world we now live in. Just know some of us agree with what we're seeing and appreciate what you're doing so far!

     The most recent mastodon update having a bug is kind of not ur responsibility nor blame to take.

     @satori I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, but I think you're doing an incredible job. Providing a great place for taboo art when so many other sites are disappearing from the internet these days. Though we may not always say it, everyone here greatly appreciates everything you do.
