@LWFlouisa Havent seen you in years, figured you left the fediverse.. Its wonderful to see you again!

@freemo Then I found out others were having the same experience with Eugene.

@LWFlouisa Yea QOTO got royally screwed by him too... He has been a disapointment for a lot of people.

@freemo its awful people got screwed, but its also oddly reassuring.

Once I got more technical ( I am learning that every I learn to code, Im figuring out how much I dont know ) I was wanting to fork Mastodon.

And make ita bit more like Diaspora, but having aspects that make Mastodon more current.

@LWFlouisa @freemo Oh that would be interesting. Mastodon needs a bit more shaking up. The basis is ok but there are so many things that could be better.

@trinsec

A fork is a lot of wirk (QOTO is a fork).. but yea its desperately needed for someone to fork mastodon and fix eugenes mess ups IMO

@LWFlouisa

@freemo @LWFlouisa
There are a few interesting Mastodon forks around already, might be worth trying to get off those? Glitch for example? Or am I talking noob now?

@trinsec @freemo Yea Glitch and Soapbox I'm really enjoying.

I wanting to run one instance local only to test out chatbots first. That's mostly because I'm more used to static website generator.

But I thought why not test the decentralized west world like concept at a small scale so I know it actually works.

@LWFlouisa

Like so many things in the fediverse there is a large group of people who wills uspend you for running soapbox at all.. apparently only Nazis run soapbox or something like that...

@trinsec

@freemo @LWFlouisa @trinsec is it a large group? Until now I thought it's mostly the few most extreme instances you wouldn't want to federate with anyway.

@Amikke @freemo @trinsec

For the most part it is, but then sometimes you'll encounter the odd LGBT instance. That's one I'm on.

Follow

@LWFlouisa @freemo @trinsec being an LGBT instance has little to do with being a totalitarian control freak and blocking non-transphobic people on guilty by association basis because their non-transphobic instance uses non-transphobic software, one of the developers of which is a supposed transphobe. For that you don't need to be LGBT, you need to be insane.
