As an admin I do not want to read your DMs, and assuming I might want to read your DMs is kinda weird actually?
I'd be happy to talk to you about why that's a concern for you, of course.
There is no admin interface for reading DMs, I'd have to go write SQL.
This isn't really a thing that admins do, it's concern trolling from disingenuous people trying to make the fedi look worse.
@aurynn I think it's built on an underpinning of "professional" as complement, and "amateur" or "hobbyist" as a pejorative - the presence of money somehow magically transforming people into the former.
@dznz @aurynn This is such a pervasive belief and I hate it. I'm so tired of people assuming that I (or anybody else really) must not care about the quality of service just because I'm not trying to turn a profit. Especially because I *know* what an absolute tire fire most tech companies are behind the scenes...
@joepie91 @aurynn I like to remind folks that “amateur” comes from French meaning “one who loves”.
