Lunduke's flounce is weird and disappointing, if only because nearly all of his complaints are massive exaggerations.
If he wants to make money over at locals that's fair enough, but don't shit all over a project that works well for the vast majority of users.
His whole schtick is to dismiss the fediverse because it doesn't work precisely the way he demands. That's a very limiting world view. And this from an advocate of Linux! Imagine!
