unsolicited elaboration
@QuietMisdreavus @starfall i follow mastodon development somewhat because i occasionally hack on my instance’s fork of it, and i will note that you being automatically made an Owner when upgrading to a version of mastodon with customizable user roles was recognized as a bug; by 4.0.0 they fixed the data migration to make what were formerly called admins Owners, like one would expect
@Lady lol
@Lady are you still working on it? by which i mean, i just re-did the change; are you gonna accidentally overwrite it again lol
shouting
@Lady WALKIN BACK THROUGH MY OLD ESTATE
@Lady updated
@Lady i’m gonna update our official pawlicy real quick
@Lady deal wiv it has become one of my Essential Tracks because of our /about/more lmao
@starfall anyway i’m once again mad that the unified ui even when not logged in is just a good idea but that the actual execution is trash
@starfall claire did say eugen has at least “finally” acknowledged issues and she plans to work on them when upstream is less busy
@starfall EW
@Lady nice
(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 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
@Lady i never knew this
@Lady ngl i never picked up on (or, at least, remembered) that part. (i remember the idea that the queers were getting pushed out from development concerns though)
