@prism@infosec.exchange @scottjenson@social.coop It’s fine for software to have different goals and audiences? Sometimes you maybe really like a certain way of doing things, so you make a tool that works just like that. Very few people will use it, but there’s a place for things like that.
But yeah, for things that’s intended to be mainstream and help a lot of people, it’s strange approach for sure.

@torb@hachyderm.io @scottjenson@social.coop I find it really strange to pre-suppose that a thing will only appeal to a certain group and to not see this as a failure mode. The truth is no one knows how people will react to anything put out into the world. "you're the wrong audience for my tool" just feels like elitism dressed up as incompetence, frankly. If someone wants to act like a hermet, that's their right, but I also won't take their opinions very seriously.
