@tillshadeisgone to put it differently, if I were the project manager of everything, I'd allocate something like 20% of "resources" - be it money for bounties, or developers, or time - to fix mastodon while the rest goes towards the new project(s).
This way there's a realistic chance to fix mastodon sooner, and if that doesn't work you still have the hard fork - which is *not* going to take less time than fixing mastodon.

@tillshadeisgone i have tried to engage as much as possible and of course I want to see more Black people here (and not on x).
My point is not the money, it's the resources - I'm a developer (not Ruby unfortunately, else I'd contribute actively) and in my experience "let's redo from scratch" often ends up wasting everybody's time.
But I shared your original, didn't I? So the attack is a bit unwarranted, maybe? -

@tillshadeisgone
I may be misreading but it seems to me that Renaud isn't *against* making the needed changes, and he's only lamenting the lack of resources.
Given that a hard fork isn't free by any means, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to help Mastodon do what they're saying they want to do anyway (eg. blocklist sync etc) and make sure they work on those features until the place is deemed safe by the Black community? -

I live in a timeline where node.js is "fast thanks to javascript" while python is "slow because it's an interpreted language".
Does anybody have a ticket to the timeline where words have meaning?

@fence "node.js is fast" I can take, it's the part where being an interpreted language is a problem with python but it's :chef's kiss: with JS that gives me pause

Where would a rather good and very senior #Django dev and middling CTO go to find a new job that meets these requirements:
1. reasonable salary
2. no generative AI
3. ideally for something that actually benefits humanity as opposed to, say, harms humanity
?
