sometimes i forget that i don’t actually know whether the woman model modelling L.L. Bean flannel buttonups is a lesbian
@aescling i will not now that i know to refresh the page before making further edits lol
@aescling oh i’m also working on it and may have overwritten your update lmao
doing a once‐over of the GlitchCat /about/more and honestly it’s pretty alright y’all
@aescling also i'm more of a marxist now than i was then
(for clarity: GlitchSoc is already a queer trans fork; i mean a slightly harder queer trans fork which is friends with GlitchSoc and Hometown but isn’t as concerned with upstream compatibility)
@maloki definitely; i think it's in a difficult situation though because claire really wants to maintain upstream compatibility and that limits what you can do
i respect it a lot, but also don't care as much about staying with upstream, and i think that gives us more options…
in particular i think the actual development experience/workflow right now is kind of hostile and difficult to onboard new people into (the mastodon codebase is a mess…) but you can't fix that without breaking compatibility with upstream mastodon
@aescling yeah i don't think i ever stated it explicitly because we were walking a delicate balance and didn't want to be like “the trans shadow cabinet is being outbid” lol
but i wrote the piece in response to conversations with shel (who was in that discord channel) about eugen just like. not listening to them anymore
@maloki led that charge and you can see her recent posts for more on how it went; i won’t try to summarize it here
HOWEVER in the time since then, we have also had new projects spring up in the form of GlitchSoc and Hometown; please please support these as they are the future of Mastodon development
also, if you want to get to work on a queer trans fork, @ me
recognizing that queer people were the reason Mastodon's featureset was (and is) what it is, we hoped to formalize power structures which had previously been informal so that Eugen couldn’t do shit like “get rid of unlisted privacy setting” without oversight
in the early months of development there was a SPECIAL DISCORD CHANNEL that if you paid enough on Eugen’s Patreon you could get access to in order to advocate new features. prior to April 2017 this channel was significantly queer. after April 2017 Eugen found other funding sources in the form of white techbros.
THAT’S WHAT IT’S ABOUT
it was a response to CHANGING MATERIAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS REGARDING MASTODON DEVELOPMENT not simply about “culture shock” or whatever lmao
your five year reminder that MOURNING MASTODON was a response to techbros PAYING EUGEN MONEY so he wouldn't have to listen to queer people anymore
kitten has decided that it is the season for snuggling
i don't think it would even work anyway due to how emoji get federated lol
brb just uploading ROT13’d versions of all our emoji
