I think it’s annoying but I just don’t read their comments and move on. Same with people who use baby talk or overly refer to themselves in third person. It’s not for me and I know I’m not gonna enjoy reading it, but yeah they’re harmless.
Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions
misericordiae@literature.cafe 3 days agoI started squinting real hard at the tesseract dev (before the controversy) when I saw a tesseract patch note that said something about getting rid of Þ (in some form, idr exactly, just that there was no mention of an option to turn it off). I think it’s nice to have a few instantly-recognizable posters in the community, esp. when what they’re doing is harmless.

Yeah that’s totally fair. I’m not a big fan of all of them, but I’m ok with them doing their own thing.

That’s certainly in character. Icelandic users be like “Fuck me, right!?”

Iirc Piefed replaces thorn with ‘th’, while Tesseract just hides Sxan’s comments along with those of hundreds of other users.
Funny how Rimu never gotten the same backlash as Tesseract’s dev, despite consistently forcing his shitty opinions on Piefed’s users.

At least Rimu doesn’t actively hide his opinion-pushing, and occasionally listens to community input … plus his opinions are not quite as unpalatable as Admiral Patrick’s. But yeah, different threadiverse implementations feel like choosing between devil and beelzebub nowadays …

I’ve seen it mentioned that he apparently also had a blacklist of users, namely those who criticized him. But the linked post about it had an image as the central piece of content, which image was giving me 404 by the time I gotten to it — so can’t confirm if that’s really true.
