I think it's just the one server run by a mentalcase tbh. Not the first time I've seen them mentioned. The other thing was them freaking out because of GIMP.

It’s honestly great to have the people who like to complain about things separated from the things they complain about. It sets for a more positive vibe in general, and probably does wonders for their blood pressure as well.

I think anyone who disagrees with this decision would have left that instance a long time ago anyway :)

Even if it kills Mastodon, having less angry people shouting at each other is undeniably a good thing

Probably the word "gimp" and not understanding that since it's all in capital letter that means it's an abbreviation, and that abbreviation is "GNU image manipulation program. "
