re: online communities and trust
@djsundog it's true of the fediverse because it's always been true of the internet more broadly
there's never just been one, but somehow they're all interconnected and messy, and that's what makes it beautiful
@cleverclue even when it isn't, what happens when that person dies, steps down from their post, or has a change of heart? it's unconscionable to make a community dependent on a support structure with such awful failure modes

meta subtoot
@clayote i agree and am reminded of https://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm
okay, starting a new game, they DON’T (currently) support other spanishes but DO specifically label it as “Español (España)” which they don’t do for any other language
which means if they DON’T have latin american spanish, they are at least planning for it

This is the first in a series of releases that implement support for new Mastodon features. More will come in the near future, but this version offers:
* Full support for all new types of notifications in Mastodon 4.0, including admin notifications.
* Updated to use more modern versions of various iOS functionality. As a result, however, the minimum supported iOS version is now 13.
* Bugfixes.
