@miturian @polarity @hopland @zilog80 also the fact that the ones who do develop on the platform for very little benefit and build discovery features, get harassed and threatened until they shut their project down or make it so it's basically unusable.
See: BridgyFed opt-in bullshit, FediOnFire that was killed about a month ago, and more recently, Fedicate which was harassed and threatened till they changed the entire purpose of the project.
There's many things and people working against building on an open platform unfortunately.🤦♂️
