@dansup @kyva @pixelfed @heyazorin That’s an excuse, when Lemmy (which is still in beta) introduced similar breaking changes they gave three months notice to allow instances to update (and it still wasn’t possible for some of them to do so)
And from a user experience point of view, how do you expect people to test a beta if they can’t log in ?
Developers usually oncentrate on getting the basics right, release the app and leave major changes until the next planned version.
