@rawenwolf It isn't necessarily that severe. I don't think we're a cult here, but some people have very strong reactions if you point out the ways fedi sucks and they will try to invalidate your points by branding you "the enemy". It's not uncommon.
Another example: There's a lot about the process of commissioning furry artists that's not great. Sometimes you wait endlessly, other times you can't even ask for a commission because some people have nothing better to do than wait for their favorite artists to open slots and immediately snatch them. I can also see how AI image generators can help. But if I ever explained this, I would expect to receive significant backlash from artists. It wouldn't matter that I'm an artist myself, or that I don't use image generators; if I pointed out anything positive about AI compared to artists, I would become the enemy.
