groupnebula563@mastodon.social A livestream definitely would've helped, I think! The videos will be up on Peertube in a few days I think, so that would help provide the full context too

dansup@pixelfed.social it was great to see you on stage! Well done Dan, would love to see you speak again.

rolle@mementomori.social I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so easy to hurl hurtful accusations with no accountability that one ought to treat them as you would treat drive by criticisms. I'm pretty far down the spectrum from a "tech bro" but I still got called one simply because NodeBB federated and dared to serve that content online (nevermind that every other fedi server does the same). In that scenario there was nothing I could do as an individual except wait for an instance mod to lay some facts out. Anything I said was instantly derided, even if it was the same thing. So if I reply with courtesy and I get back vitriol, why do I bother? I don't now. So maybe that's more tech bro-y.

pumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it's a forum and that's literally how it was done way back then. You can follow tags as well.

melroy@kbin.melroy.org oh sorry to hear that hopefully Dan hasn't moved on from FediDB already.
