Well yeah, let's get the Mastodon devs a cool $15 million so they can hire more devs and compete. /s
You fail to understand open source. You want it better? Get fucking involved and stop asking people who are coding for free to compete with the code of an organization that has millions in dollars backing them and a team of professional developers.
Either get involved or start dumping money into the Mastodon devs patreon accounts.
Whichever you do is way more constructive than bitching about an open source program made by volunteers and comparing it to a slick corporate product with literally millions backing it and it's development. That's just sucking corporate dick by any other name.
Further, pretty sure block lists were and are available on Mastodon.
No wonder Trump won, everyone wants to suck at the teat of the rich instead of saying "we don't need you."
Keep doing what you are doing. I’m sure people will suddenly care deeply about software licenses if you shame them enough. They probably don’t have other shit in their life to worry about. It’s really constructive.
I'm sure continuing to make demands while not doing anything yourself will work out just swimmingly.
Thank you! The level of entitlement with some people is simply ridiculous. And I'm weary of claims that pointing out real technical/cultural problems with competing networks is "shaming users". 🙄
Part of that is what they're saying: If you want to make Mastodon prevail over Bluesky, you should go start developing and encouraging instead of just insulting everyone. You're the person demanding everyone use and support an inferior product developed by much better people here.
Do the volunteers want people to use what they make?
Because, I'll be honest, based on how people on the fediverse talk about people coming from Twitter or Reddit or wherever, I'm not convinced that they do. Rather, they just want to pat themselves on the back for being high minded developers.
