@communist okay I can see where you’re coming from - I just understood to start that you think it would thrive better without any other companies, and honestly the people on those platforms doing what they are doing wouldn’t come as benefit to a community like this nor would it get in the way if they continue. And the features set to come over the years are something that by…having let’s call them, colleagues in the industry, working on different aspects that may become of benefit

@communist I believe it’s possible. But not here yet. And the fact that you aren’t even open to see that there will be a need for improvement over time. And I see a lot more people vocally defending it to the end without seeing any of the arguments - and especially from a code base perspective trust me there’s things that will get left behind until it’s too late unless there are others pushing boundaries

@fades @MayonnaiseArch I do think that Mastodon is GREAT :D but there's no harm in wanting multiple platforms for the range of people that there are. Competition drives inovation, and Mastodon has a few things it lacks that others already offer. Not saying everything needs adapted, I like what's on offer, but there will always be room for growth, and competing and sharing in other platforms growth could be beneficial. Twitter used to do great, and still could but as of now isn't.

@gsa4555 seeing this everywhere from people complaining that all they see is posts of Elon - honestly they’re the only folk posting

@Raisin8659 I never seen the article, just your post about migrating away from proton / my datas not that sensitive, I just would like away from the shitty mail client I get from self hosting defaults, and away from the charging mega giants that keep changing things. I want something open source that’s decent to work with - and as a bonus something I can highly customise not only in terms of design but also with actions or scripts

@MJBrune of it would let me - just keeps re—opening the post 🤣

@MJBrune I love his videos - watching now 👀

@Raisin8659 @unix_joe any alternatives? I’ve been looking at this recently 🙈

@MJBrune ahhhh fair enough, never seen the video, just joining the debate 🤣 I’ll give it a whirl

@MJBrune by some definitions it already is

@MJBrune and it depends on the definition to be honest

@MJBrune we will only know well after the fact
