Veronica ExplainsDeleted my post about the sexual harassment I'd received on Fedi, because it was driving more sexual harassment toward me.
Y'all want women on Fedi? Fight that shit. I can't do it for you.
Veronica ExplainsI don't care if you like the sparkle emoji and don't appreciate my using it to refer to so-called "AI" nonsense. Please stop telling me how wrong you think I am. It's annoying.
Veronica ExplainsJust an FYI in case anyone was interested: if you're printing something potentially clandestine, be careful about where you print it.

Veronica ExplainsHot take: good riddance. I dislike the middle click thing. Trips me up all the time as someone who accidentally clicks it when scrolling.

A lot of the gripes I see are just people being mad because GNOME makes choices they don't like. I don't understand why people write like this about GNOME, if you don't like it don't use it, your emotions make you look petty, etc etc.
