:sprout: evil mental tofu haver (floatingghost@ihatebeinga.live)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Jul-2022 09:00:41 JST :sprout: evil mental tofu haver @hj @fristi @dielan that was intentional
essential flow of events were
- private post about how the longest standing bug in pleroma has a fix and nothing has been done
- lanodan saying "why is it passive-aggressive" (which admittedly it is a tad, but nothing extreme)
- me responding with "why should i be 100% civil given hj, your ostentible maintainer's subposts calling me dumb and then trying to get me 'on board'"
- landodan equating this to me "burning bridges" and such -

you're only digging yourself a deeper hole here
i was right at the forefront of newroma, tried to work with you lot but the pleroma committee system failed to get the project anywhere
and i've got a not insignificant number of PRs merged, just for the record -

:sprout: evil mental tofu haver (floatingghost@ihatebeinga.live)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Jul-2022 09:00:31 JST :sprout: evil mental tofu haver @hj @fristi @dielan I've explained, several times, in excruciating detail, how I believe pleroma's project management to be naive at best and harmful at worst
and how I don't believe you have any form of vision
and how you're beholden to the worst users
and how you've gone essentially nowhere in 6 months
these are fundamental flaws in pleroma as it is and I cannot fix them, they're too deeply entrenched
you've several times described how "everyone decided on what to do" then go "wait there's no committee system" as well, I don't want to keep saying it but you must acknowledge the power structure that's there, and find a way to get it to work for you, instead of denying it's presence -

:sprout: evil mental tofu haver (floatingghost@ihatebeinga.live)'s status on Tuesday, 26-Jul-2022 09:00:25 JST :sprout: evil mental tofu haver @hj @fristi @dielan I'm going to be really blunt with you for a bit, since you seem incapable of retaining context across posts
I'm going to lay out why, precisely, I do not want to work under the banner of pleroma and why I do not believe you can recover, one last time, and you can never again claim that I didn't explain
1. the project lacks coherent leadership, and hence direction. you've stated that it's aiming to be "flexible" but not limited the scope in any way, leading to there being no defined niche, or image for what the software should be. it's a nebulous cloud that fits in "social" but does not know how to pick which bits to do
2. pleroma's brand is tainted. this cannot be denied, the sheer amount of hostility flowing both ways between developers and users have made it a toxic environment. the userbase leans"free speech" and that leaks into the projects goals when they exist
3. the project management is ill or undefined. this was exposed for all to see with the gleason thing. there is no consensus over what gets merged and who decides. this leads to PRs sitting untouched or wrongfully merged
4. there is no central community. this contributes massively to the above. the community has been fracturing for years with segments of the userbase unwilling to cooperate for varying reasons. this leads to a lack of contributors since it's likely that one segment does not want to assist another. thus adopting one segment and making something specifically for them will lead to far better results, and is ultimately my course of action
I'm not going to say anything good about soapbox, but they too have adopted one corner of the userbase
maybe it's time to accept your dream of a unified core that provides for everyone is dead, and it's not coming back -
