poVoqBoy I was wrong about the Fediverse
DJ PutlerIt’s incredible how much ActivityPub sabotages itself. This author speaks on the deliberately dysfunctional aspects of Mastodon as being a result of “open source software having to suck” when in fact the devs here chose to make it suck because they decided it was better, like removing quote tweets etc. Misskey variants do all this stuff perfectly fine, far more features than Twitter actually, although the base version is incredibly buggy and inhabited by pedophiles. There is no reason why Lemmy and its forks can’t connect to these sites either. People are just incredibly confused on here and do not see their own potential.
Big fan of Movim by the way.
chrisMastodon has quotes now. They chose to make quotes controllable and added a standard for it. That’s why it took so long.
73msI think the founder didn’t like the idea of talking about each other instead of with each other. After enough people said they really wanted it they wanted to give people at least control. And don’t necessarily am thinking that was the right decision but it came from a good place.
