"The mastodon dev team is very small."
allegedly this is by design. am not the best person to speak on this, but my impression is that the lead developer loves to have a tight fist on things. that's why supposedly Mastodon Glitch (?) exists. they wouldn't accept the pull requests.
i would pay & raise money in a heartbeat if i knew that as a community member i'd have a say on development of the code base & management of .social. the way they're organized, neither is an option... 🧵
