The thank you for your patience one has always rubbed me wrong. There’s honor in apologizing in my opinion. I do like the making a mistake one though and I’ve tried to adopt that mentality when I’m working with QA on something I’ve merged. I want them to feel good about finding the mistakes and I want to avoid an adversarial relationship. I’ve learned that I get way better tickets from QA if they like how I treat them. Treat them like valuable experts and they’ll act like valuable experts.

Maybe this is a naive take but what exactly is meta supposed to be embracing extending and extinguishing? Mastodon isn’t some huge community that they’re trying to consume. Facebook has a really good track record of contributing to the FOSS community (react et al). Don’t get me wrong I dislike meta as much as the next guy but maybe there’s something good that could come out of it. I’d like it if it was a mainstream entry into the fediverse.
