@konkrit@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win yeah, I second this - often, the thing that people (think they) want, may not be the best way to go.
Think about it, if you ask anyone, they will say they want lower taxes. But then if everyone's taxes were lowered, the roads would be filled with potholes etc.
People are (generally) really bad at assessing the deeper consequences of their desires, when implemented.
So, I'm with Kristoffer on this. Though I think many will opt out of it altogether, and I am hopeful because of that, it won't harm our communities all that much 🙏🏼

@bazkie@beige.party @konkrit@mastodon.social Your tax examples is apposite. But as the blogpost shows, a LOT of thought has gone into this. It's not as though the developers just went "Oh, some people like QTs, better add them". Anyway, we're unlikely to agree on whether they might the right choice, but I hope we can at least agree that they have moved slowly, carefully and sensitively ... in the direction you didn't want.
