A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Despite what you're implying, the devs have no duty to fix admin-reported problems using admin-dictated solutions.
They have already said they would accept a PR adding support for captchas. Someone will undoubtedly do this before long.
Until then, why the urgency? What is it that's preventing you from keeping your instance on 0.17?
I disagree, once your open source project "sprouts wings" you enter an unspoken power battle. If enough of the community disagrees with something the chance of a successful fork grows. Once a project is forked away, you no longer have any control at all.
Also, even if I don't upgrade to v0.18, I have to live in a fediverse that have other instances that WILL, and they might pose a problem with increased spam.
You've seen Hackers one too many times. Again you can run your instance however you want, and can defederate from instances that don't implement things they way you are demanding they should, but you do not dictate how others (or the developers) run things.
The beauty of open source is you can always fork your own. The beauty of federation is you can block whoever you want or whatever instance you want.
Other than that, you have no right to demand anything of anyone.
No, I was around when SysV Init was "replaced" by Systemd and how that impacted the Debian project (and other distros).
But you know what, sure, let's stick to your bad faith, insulting interpretation, after all it is more becoming of an internet troll. I'm sure it'll get you lots of updoots from similarly trollish individuals.
Personally, I believe in something called collective responsibility, and that does including expecting community members to do their fair share. But it sounds like you envision federations as mini fiefdoms.
