@realcaseyrollins Blobcatstodon is @mewmew’s fork of Mastodon and the only really usable version of it. https://git.blob.cat/blobcatservices/blobcatstodon/
@shebang @alex Hmm...is it the interface, or the backend? I actually prefer the #Mastodon interface, it's just way faster on the #Pleroma backend.
I do wonder for those who do not like the interface, why that is. #Mastodon seems to be designed with normies in mind, but to be honest #SoapBox is a lot prettier, is as smooth as any #Pleroma instance would be, and even has more features than #Mastodon. But neither have really caught on.
I look at the #Pleroma interface and go, "man, this looks kinda weird and nerdy", and I wouldn't be surprised if other's felt the same way. I could see people wanting to leave #Mastodon, but honestly I couldn't see them running to #Pleroma. IMHO, design-wise, #Pleroma looks the oldest out of the three, and #SoapBox looks the newest. IDK what the end result is, but it would be nice to see #SoapBox become the new #Mastodon. The #Pleroma interface looks too nerdy to have mass appeal, IMHO
@realcaseyrollins @alex I agree with Alex here, I think Mastodon already feels dated somehow — mainly the direction the developers are going isn’t somewhere promising. Despite being the Capital of Cancel City, it has terrible moderation features even. Pleroma is upbeat and active, new stuff happening — stuff people actually want. There really isn’t a reason to use Mastodon that I can think of, with the sole exception of its language filtering.
Misskey is really fun, but its .. very quirky. I’m curious to follow its development though.
@shebang What's Blobcatstdon?
@moonman Hmm I used to read lotsa classic literature as a kid (Project Gutenberg + Amazon Kindle for the win, amirite) and they didn't use many "homophobic" slurs tbh...but yeah everything else is accurate
Well this is 2020 .. Judges asking about the contents of Elizabeth Warren's tweets. "Did the Tweet say anything about the---" is something I would have never expected back in 2008, on the record, in a Federal case about sovereign immunity
