@hj @FloatingGhost @dielan It doesn't have to be like that. But both sides will have to learn to respect each other's decision making. And that's currently where the big crack is, and I doubt that crack will ever be mended.

But that doesn't have to be a problem. Floaty managed to do what she did because she was not constrained to pleroma's internal decision making. But Pleroma can pull in those changes as well. For free. Because GPL. As such, even if Floaty breaks off and does her own thing, it doesn't have to be a massive issue or anything. Perhaps this model of forking off might prove beneficial, if you decide to work with it.

And if Akkoma somehow "wins" so to speak, well, maybe that would say something about the pleroma project being misguided. Frankly I currently do not know what the state of the project is, who is leading it and what the end-goals currently are. Would you blame me if I said I didn't want to invest time in a project that looked like a dead fish on dry land to me?
