it did have the great line « as a writer you only have so many avenues for fucking your reader and sentence structure can be one of the more visceral » and wow do i wish more authors understood this

somebody told me « I literally started taking notes on your comment; it's one of the most informative ones I've seen on the site » on AO3 and this was my reply

Show thread

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)

Show thread

@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

Show thread

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
