@bleak yeah... for good reasons too :/ I'm really hoping the new explosion in instances makes the focus less on masto.social and makes it possible to create a part of masto that can do better (awoo.space seems to be doing the best with this so far).
though I kind feel like that won't be enough if eugen is still front and center. I'm also hoping a new wave of devs can help with this but that's a little more dubious...
@erinolivia yeah. eugen being front and center is going to be a perennial problem as long as he isn't looking at and addressing these problems, that's definitely for sure. with more devs coming on board i worry about further exploitative labor practices too- it's not really a problem that can be coded away i don't think
