        It won’t go. At least not in the near future. They’re just growing. And that comes with consequences. The article says they’re at it. And doing a good job.

      Hopefully the Mastodon devs are paying attention to the features that bsky has that they don’t, and actually copy them rather than sit there and tell everyone that no, they’re wrong they don’t want that feature.

      I want to like Mastodon (or any platforms that are federated with them and trying very hard to be them) but they’re utter and total lack of interest in and development of features the community keeps asking for is going to keep it a niche option for weirdos while people keep hopping into corpo social platform after corpo social platform.

        The mastodon developers are us.

        It’s open source so yeah…my PRS are part of the community. And so are yours. And projects like GoToSocial make it seemless if someone wants to implement the same protocol in a slightly different way.

          The mastodon devs decide what to merge, though. If they don’t see the value of a feature, they won’t merge it.

          If you want to extend the protocol, sure, go ahead. But you’ll be alone on it, since no one outside of your protocol island can use that specific feature.

          inb4 “it’s not my job to contribute to a community project when there’s a slick corporate alternative” which is basically just saying “it’s not my job to make the world a better place.” (Actually that’s everyone’s job, all the time.)

          “Wahhhh, I shouldn’t have to learn to code, or garden, or be a street medic, or learn to do anything to take care of other people ever. I should have it all spoon-fed to me by corporations that don’t give a fuck if I live or die!”

          And yet there are somehow those of us who have the audacity to call Boomers lazy and entitled. We’re obviously no fucking better.
