The funniest thing about the Pleroma drama is that it's another example of why certain Fedi software developers/users/supporters shoot themselves in the foot.

As "woke" as Mastodon is, they're getting those sweet, sweet, EU funding bucks (Eunomia), and Soapbox has the "autist with a vision" behind it. What does Pleroma have? It has forks that don't go far and big instances like FSE or SPC running older versions of the code, or instances choosing to run on Soapbox-FE/BE.

As much as the Pleroma guys hate Alex, they're not going to be able to do fuckall because whining on the fedi isn't the same as making software people use/want to use. Sure poa.st is the biggest soapbox instance and that's not kosher, but neither is Pawoo being the biggest/one of the biggest fedi instances. What does Pawoo run on? Mastodon. That doesn't stop EU funding.

Eventually, less politically oriented websites will start running Soapbox and not care about some intricate drama.
@PhenomX6 I'm getting tempted to fork GNU Social, and add in the good features Pleroma and Misskey have introduced, but without the reliance on JS.
But if I do, I'll perhaps keep it to just a single developer project.

@ryo @PhenomX6 If I had all the time in the world, I would write an ActivityPub implementation in Golang.

@Tadano @PhenomX6 @ryo I'm spending most of my time training for me new job. I know Golang but I'm still new to the language. I also need to learn more about network programming and distributed networking is much harder than the simple client-server model.
