Again, I've been on the platform for some time. These people are dead serious.
- simias 8y agoI'm sure these people can be serious but I'm not sure they should be taken seriously (I assume that's what the parent was asking). Unless they're contributors one way or an other they're just 3rd party trying to create drama where there shouldn't be any.
- djsumdog 8y agoI feel like Poe's Law has to come into play here. It's analogous to flat earthers. We don't really know if they're just trolling or genuinely taking themselves seriously without knowing the intent in their own heads (or some other verifiable writing/posts to indicate they know they're trolling)
- robotbikes 8y agoThey we're just programmed to start trouble, don't hate the robot, hate the code.

- freeopinion 8y agoI think it is part of Mastodon's appeal that there can be hosts that will welcome these people and hosts that boot these people. There doesn't have to be one single community that will either accept this or reject this. I tend to be more closed to stuff like this and don't want to be around it. But I'm glad that others are more inclusive and have a place they can be inclusive that doesn't have to include me.
