>Attempts to characterize the above as hyperbolic probably stem from a mismatch in culture.

Before I respond, can I confirm whether this supposed to be addressed at my comment?

That's how I interpreted it, personally.

Same, but it wasn't made in reply to my comment for some reason, so I want to be sure!

Yep. But I didn't want to restrict the conversation to that sub-thread's framing and wanted to have a more positive framing showing the original post really did make decent points and discuss them rather than the culture mismatch. But given I'm writing this it seems it didn't work and that's on me for being too on the nose, re: hyperbolic.

edit: You're right, you didn't criticize the article or address it at all. You just criticized the tone and implied FF users not happy with this move would drive the mythical "normal" users away.

Super weird to call me out and make a strawman of my comment in a place I'm less likely to see it.

>wanted to have a more positive framing showing the original post really did make decent points

I didn't even criticize this article! I made a meta-comment on the overall discussion, across several platforms, where I said _some_ of the conversation is hyperbolic.
