I wish we could define requirements for a decent replacement of #Mastodon (the software), and then find a way to fund a couple of people to work full time on creating that.
Perhaps starting with an in-depth review of existing options, to not reimplement the wheel from scratch.
I'd gladly chip in on a monthly basis for that kind of an effort.

Seriously, go read that thread.
I want to make it clear though: yes, I am disappointed by this, but I do not believe it's helpful to panic, start flamewars, get into spats, or call people names.
Instead, it's better to put that energy and time into building alternatives. The more feature-complete fedi instance software is out there, the healthier the whole network is.
