You’re not wrong to feel irked by this. However, if that’s the case, the Fediverse may not be for you. You’re probably better off over some place else, like Reddit or Bluesky, where decisions are taken centrally, investor money is driving development, and there’s a manager to complain to.

Thanks for the laugh, I've been on the network for almost the entirety of its lifetime and witnessed every development and major change. I've even helped run a major project in the early days.
