@sun Travelling ATM so I'll quickly say the extended honeymoon period has ended. I started losing it around the time of Mastodon and various exodus forms have seen people who haven't assimilated, only bringing their Twitter habits with them, making interactions more stressful and less interesting.

A thought I'm still developing is the plateau of unkept promises Pleroma et al. I've experienced and living with something not at parity with GNU Social. As soon as the money dried up, so did the interest in building a complete UX. Moderation tools are unfinished and nobody knows where it was going, for example. Seeing instances pack up because of unworkable DB states is sad as I've seen names I used to enjoy talking with gone from the annals of Fedi.

I remain interested in the endeavours of yourself, Pete, and others, to reshape the experience to fulfil the unrealised potential of building anew with the inspiration of GNU Social, Friendica, etc. Fediblock doesn't bother me, what does is the quality of interactions. I want my tight-knit communities back.
