Perhaps this is an awful take and I’m interpreting everything wrong, but the entire point of this Fediverse convention seems to be talking about why the Fediverse, the thing the convention is about, sucks (and not really defining any proper solutions, or sometimes even problems).

Hi groupnebula563@mastodon.social, I just wanted to pen a quick reply before I head to bed.
I'm sorry you got that impression, but a lot of the photos posted were posted because they were hot takes (or plain facts) about the current state of the fediverse. They were followed up with additional slides and exposition on what the solutions were, that very smart people were dealing with them, and that not all hope is lost.
The funny thing is that talking about how to fix something is deeply unsexy and people don't take pictures about those slides, and so it inadvertently sounds like I'm just going on stage saying talking about "why the Fediverse sucks".
It doesn't suck, not at all! It's wild, and wonderful, and some people have a bad time on it for one reason or another, and I want to go around and fix all those little things that make people have a bad day.

@julian Got it! That makes a lot more sense, next time I think it would be nice to show the whole picture. Gives people the opportunity to comment on the solutions being discussed (and also provides a less biased view of the convention as a whole). Sorry for any dismay I might’ve accidentally caused.

groupnebula563@mastodon.social A livestream definitely would've helped, I think!
The videos will be up on Peertube in a few days I think, so that would help provide the full context too
