If they are, and if their goal is to keep us angry, then:

• Bad news: They're succeeding
• Good News: I'm angry at them rather than whatever they're aiming for.

I also feel there's an equal chance they're just perpetually online buzzkills / Debbie Downers.

I've been wanting to start a local Mesh group. There's nothing coordinated here, though I do see a random node every few days.

Would you care to share a bit about your process of setting up and some of the "checkboxes" one would need to go through to start organizing something like that for an area?

Also, are you going to try to get listed on the Meshtastic local groups list?

I have so many people blocked that the comment count in the feed is basically useless now. lol

Opposite sides of the coin, equally insufferable.

Not wrong, but that's 3 separate groups all with the same "nothing is ever good enough" / "perfect is the enemy of good" / "purity testing" attitude.

It gets old fast, but it usually manifests in smaller doses over a longer period of time. With all the support coming in for Kimmel the last few days, and these people and their constant nitpickig and negging on everything, I've reached my limit of that kind of attitude far faster than I can recover.

I just blocked the instance. I'm not judging based on that since the instances that do block ml are (still) the minority. Tankies notwithstanding, there are too many communities people would FOMO about if an instance were to defed from ml.

That said, I would happily support the admins' decision to do so if they ever decide to, but I'm not gonna insist they do since I can block it myself

Clearly 😆. But these people would still find something to complain about. Ugh.

My home instance has some awesome custom emojis. :)

There have been multiple different articles posted like this one of various actors throwing in support for Kimmel / admonishing Disney. A good chunk of the replies to those posts are in the exact vein (or closely paraphrased) in my comment above and yours to which I replied. The common theme is nitpicking and whining and nothing ever being good enough.

Oh. My. God.

"[Actor/Actress] speaks out against Disney / in support of Kimmel"

Lemmy:

• Well, what about [other actors/actresses]? Imagine if it was them saying this. Why are they so quiet?
• It would be more meaningful if they actually had a show on Disney right now. Since they don't, it's just performative theater.
• [Actor active with Disney speaks out] If he cared about Disney ethics, he wouldn't be making movies for them anyway.

Can we not just appreciate the high-profile support here? Is nothing ever good enough for you people? What does it freaking take to satisfy you??

I know exactly what you mean, have seen it more than I ever wanted to, and just "ugh" every time. This isn't the proper community to dive any deeper into that topic, so I'll leave it at that.
