@jwz@mastodon.social @nelson@tech.lgbt @jmason@mastodon.ie oh, I 100% won’t defend the timing, the time horizon, or the messaging. We’re handling this in our normal way, which is to say badly. Given all the hassles and technical nightmares I’m not surprised we decided to kill this off, but we could and should have managed this very differently.
