@parismarx@mastodon.online @davidgerard@circumstances.run "Decentralisation is an anti-feature for a social network because it leads to the sort of technical detail that hampers functionality." Difficult to argue against that with the current state of affairs to be honest. I'm piloting a Mastodon-compatible instance for a local solidarity economy group and they're struggling with basic usability issues.

@chebra@mstdn.io @european_alternatives@mastodon.social "I believe any person working in any company is very well capable of understanding when there are more apps instead of one. It's not a complicated concept." Sorry but I strongly disagree

@sara@hachyderm.io This was hugely painful to read the first time in Slack, and I still read the whole thing again because it's plain shocking... I'm so sad you had to go through this, and happy that you landed in a good place.

@getkirby@mastodon.social The release notes are a delight to read, beautifully crafted. Kirby looks awesome, will definitely have a look! (recommended by @matthiasott@mastodon.social)

@erlend@writing.exchange @fediversenews Awesome! I read the thread and saw no mention of @forgefed@floss.social either, do you folks know anything about these efforts?

@wren@discuss.systems The person doing the work doesn't need to be the one merging the work, IMO

@mmayo@hachyderm.io @unlambda@hachyderm.io @Gargron@mastodon.social I asked because you said "work on Mastodon" - naturally having the changes in some other fork is entirely valuable. Thanks for the clarification!

@mmayo@hachyderm.io Honest question: do you have merge rights on Mastodon? If not, how will you ensure that the contributions are merged? Is there agreement from the Mastodon core team about those issues already? In my experience, pouring time/money to an open source project doesn't do magic. It requires consensus building, a good relationship with the maintainers, and some patience.
