To be honest, the extreme negative reaction was a surprise to me, as I thought interaction between disparate systems was the entire point, but clearly we didn’t navigate the culture correctly.

Noooo fucking shit? If they spent more than a minute on a proper instance and not ~~milquetoast~~ mastodon dot social, they would have realised that a good number of fedi users despise shenanigans like this?
