I think there will come a day when mastodon is on it's way out like diaspora is now because it's so artificially limited ( tho even they have encrypted dm's lmao ) when something else comes along and shows actually you can do both timelines and groups at the same time, support other protocols like websub, while running on less resources etc. And think there are a lot of such projects being worked on currently.

like it really seems like Mastodon gets paid by Meta to do nothing while feeding user data directly to zuckerberg, and so what they do in the updates is fuck with the css on the webUI and other pointless things to look like they're doing something, meanwhile there's so many basic problems they don't even address, like how much of the racist harassment shit that comes up be solved by simple regex filters, something that should be foundational to any moderation system.

And they have this entire playbook for feature requests where they gaslight people into thinking it's not technically possible because it's not in the spec or some bullshit, until every other competitor has implemented the feature, and then they when they do it they say "we just wanted to do it right", like no you didn't want to do it, or really, you didn't want to pay someone to do it, because all their money goes into mastodon.social and advertising and C-suit salaries, like it took them years to implement edits lmao
