@Erik@Gargron Well he’s blocked me on everything for having a slightly different opinion, even though we develop basically the same software (mine is better) and agree on 99% of everything else. What kind of person does that?
I fully agree, Soapbox is better, for standard and power users, a demographic Mastodon doesn’t tailor to, imo. Additionally it straight up runs faster on worse hardware and has more features.
Well, I don’t know the history, but yeah that does sound really petty.
@alex@Gargron What miffs me is how his PR machine has made ~EVERYONE - especially n00bs - believe that the Fediverse = Mastodon. Saying "His PR machine" because if he can hire moderators, you can be pretty sure he has hired a PR firm.
As for his personality, I recall there was one issue in the repo where he adamantly kept quiet (meaning a BIG 'No') about having a 'Setting to change the favicon for an instance'. That made me gauge his personality. He's stubborn as a kid and will NEVER admit his decisions are incorrect.
