However, in <a href=\"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45975024\">a Reddit reply</a>, Eugen says that it was separate from anything in public:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It did not happen in public, and is not related to any public events.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>That rules out whatever drama I found. I won\u2019t attempt to summarize it because I don\u2019t want to rehash it again. As the public face of Mastodon, I expect Eugen is frequently overwhelmed with complaints that are too much for one person to deal with.</p>\n<p>Still, just looking over the online drama reminded me of how big a problem we have on the social web. Some of the most unexpectedly personal and harsh replies I\u2019ve ever received have come from Mastodon folks who <em>think they\u2019re fighting the good fight</em>. When people are sure they are on the side of justice, they justify extreme rhetoric, even dehumanization of people on the wrong side. As I\u2019ve <a href=\"https://www.manton.org/2025/02/12/new-fediverse-settings-in-microblog.html\">blogged about previously</a>, the focus on smaller communities is a double-edged sword: good in the move for decentralization and to focus more on community moderation, but also amplifying the negative effects of filter bubbles.</p>\n<p>When I quit Twitter in 2012, I remember noticing for the first time how influential it had been to have a community of peers that shaped popular opinion. After I stopped reading Twitter, when Daniel Jalkut and I would record Core Intuition, I would often come to the show with a different perspective than what our Mac and iOS developer community on Twitter had already decided was best. That didn\u2019t mean I was <em>right</em> more often, but I was happy that it felt like my opinion was my own.</p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to look at many Mastodon servers now and see what the groupthink is and how it affects discourse.

From <a href=\"https://fedidb.com/stats\">FediDB</a>, there seems to be a decline in active users.
