@realcaseyrollins I just feel like it's a job nobody can really be good at. Especially when you have that many users. They're all trying to pull you in different directions, feeling entitled about everything, and a good number of people are trying to destroy you both from the outside and from within. You mentioned that he seems a bit unstable, and you're probably right, but that's what it does to people. I was unstable the whole time I ran Spinster, and I still feel unstable coming off the tail end of it. More than anything I'm amazed he's survived with that job for so long. He puts on a macho persona, but I'm sure he's somewhat broken inside. I have mad respect for his perseverance, and I would not wish the kind of hate he receives upon even my worst enemies.
There are people who do big things in the background and nobody notices them. For example, programmers who create operating systems, blockchains, etc. When your job involves being in the spotlight, with every aspect of it being broadcast and scrutinized by thousands of people, it can be extremely challenging.
@realcaseyrollins Finally finished listening to the second half. Thanks for the shout out, that was really nice! I enjoyed it a lot. Thought you were spot-on about the instance blocking stuff. I'm a bit more sympathetic to Gab though, having dealt with the hardships of being an admin myself. Maybe it's something we could talk about.

Any of you fellow #Christians (esp. those of you who are #Calvinist) heard #FLAME's new EP #ExtraNos? What do you think about his decision to switch from #Calvanism to #Lutheranism?

Matthew 22:37-39 is my mantra:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
But Phillipians 4:4 is my favorite verse of all time:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
