Friendica user: "You say you want the Fediverse to have this feature? The Fediverse has this feature. Mastodon doesn't, but the Fediverse has. The Fediverse is not only Mastodon. Friendica has it. Friendica has had it since its inception in 2010, over five years before Mastodon was launched. And Friendica has always been part of the Fediverse. And since Mastodon was launched, it has been federated with Friendica. So there."
god damn why do so many federated services have such awful fucking names that feel disgusting to say
friendica sounds like a strain of bacteria that eats your ligaments
TROCHEES, MOTHER FUCKERS, USE THEM IN YOUR FUCKING BRANDING.
FACEBOOK. YOUTUBE. WHATSAPP. TIKTOK. SNAPCHAT. REDDIT. DISCORD. TUMBLR.
TWITTER before it turned to utter shit partially because its name was changed to "X".
Hell even LEMMY is a Trochee and I think that's part of why it's managed to stand up to reddit this well!
Even the big names that AREN'T trochaic get truncated to trochees! INSTA! PIN-TREST!
They try to truncate Mastodon to Mast-o but people keep thinking THAT'S a reference to a disease too.
fucking hell
I'M MAD BECAUSE I WANT FEDVERSE SHIT TO SUCCEED AND IT'S LEAVING THIS PERFECTLY ACCESSIBLE LOW HANGING FRUIT TO ROT ON THE VINE WHEN IT NEEDS EVERY LAST FUCKING SCRAP OF HELP IT CAN GET
the best time to change it was before it was made.
the second best time is RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW.
and the longer they delay, the more painful it's going to be getting passed up by BLUESKY.

I get your point, but this has such "it's gnu/linux" energy.
Benevolent dictator for life for life?
Yeah, to go with my Detective Comics Comics comic books.
puting in my personal identification number number at the automatic teller machine machine
Dude, the project has 213 open requests and 19,074 handled. 1% of all requests are thus unhandled and people are
complaininglosing their minds about one of those 1%.Calm the fuck down.
While I have no stance on the meme, I'd like to point out that just looking at raw numbers isn't a sufficient counter argument for multiple reasons:
- Many projects use PRs to merge feature branches from maintainers, while outside PRs are left lying around
- I've seen people close their PRs in other projects after sitting around for a long time. How many of those 19,074 were withdrawn?
- The Mastodon repo used to have the stale bot enabled (might still be), e.g. in this random example. How many of those 19,074 were automatically closed?
- They also use the renovate bot. How many of those 19,074 were automatically submitted?
I actually went through and checked how many PRs were automatically submitted, we have:
dependabot-preview: 1,107dependabot: 2,279renovate: 1,126github-actions: 270
There might be more that I've missed (e.g.
dependabot-previewisn't listed as an app in the authors filter), but this adds up to 4,782 PRs, just over a quarter of total PRs. That's a rather large deviation.Again, not saying that you're incorrect, but the numbers you mention could also occur in a project that is as bad as the meme describes.
On another project, my 4-year-old readme update was finally approved this month. Timely.
Every major open source project has a couple dozen of these
An option for a mute duration of 1 year is all I ask for.
Isn’t that only one (albeit official) implementation of Mastodon, or have I misunderstood how fediverse apps work completely?
They are talking about the source code. All instances run the same code.
@jas0n All instances of Mastodon run the same source code, unless it is one of the many forks, like Hometown. But none of the other fediverse server software out there uses Mastodon code. They are completely different projects with completely different codebases. What they have in common is that they speak ActivityPub.
