@jrm @yoeran I heard that Hubzilla doesn't 100% play well with GNU social. All of these projects have their quirks... Mastodon tries to follow standards as closely as possible.

@yoeran @jrm For example GNU social has been dominant in this niche for such a long time that they more or less stopped caring about standards and started implementing GNU social-only features. Mastadon is more like: if it can't be federated, don't do it at all

@Gargron @jrm Eugen for federate president! (or can't that be federated :P)

@yoeran @jrm @gargron this is when we remind ourselves that email is the federated social network we've all been waiting for

@Gargron @jrm But I guess that's the beauty of gnusocial, right? Pick the project you like best and you'll still be able to communicate.

Maybe you should find out what really happened before you pass judgement. It took a year for somebody to test an experimental,untested, and unsupported optional plugin and when they finally decided to try it out, they found an issue. No surprise there. The only surprise is that it took somebody a year to give it a whirl. In fact it was not a protocol or standards issue. It was simply a bug.

As it took a year for anybody to even notice there was a bug, I can only conclude that our members don't place much value in having a GNU-Social protocol plugin. So it has now been completely disabled until or unless that situation changes.

@mike I don't think I passed judgement anywhere
