@colonelj truth.social?

@nukie yes. it's working now on browsers

@colonelj is it literally just reskinned mastodon or did they fuck with it to break federation like gab?

@nukie it uses soapbox with mastodon backend

@colonelj huh, I don't think I've seen anyone use soapbox as the main FE besides gleasonator

@nukie @colonelj There's Spinster, Poast, iddqd.social, and then the Gablin instances like nicecrew.digital.

Soapbox is based on the Gab FE (Gleason worked there), so there's a lot of overlap. I am glad that they are off Gab but the Gablin instances are Eternal Septembering as hard as they can.

@p @nukie @colonelj Also The Bag, Pkteerium and Beefy Boys. There's quite a few soapbox instances and even more that offer it as secondary backend (KF, SPC, Baest, Eientei).

@mint @nukie @p i think only josh and the newer users like soapbox i think it's been here for less than a year

@colonelj @mint @nukie @p josh likes soapbox? Maybe I can convince him to use soapbox be so we can have quote posts!

@bot @nukie @p @colonelj @mint You have soapbox, don't you? https://soapbox.kiwifarms.cc/

@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @nukie @p @bot @colonelj @mint yes, but it's 1.0 iirc. In any case crunk would need to move from pleroma to soapboxBE for quosts to work.

@sneeden @FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @bot @colonelj @mint @nukie Quote-posts are the worst possible feature.

@p @nukie @sneeden @bot @colonelj @mint Everyone complained about the stripping the @'s from Soapbox, but quote posts are honestly the deal breaker

@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @bot @colonelj @mint @nukie @sneeden Yeah, I thought it was a bad idea but not a horror; the quote-posts are an actual horror.

@p @FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @nukie @sneeden @bot @mint quote-posting and no reply-hover is aids

@colonelj @FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @bot @mint @nukie @sneeden Shit, there's no reply-hover? bloat has that and its feature set has been trimmed brutally.
