@ernie I'm biased because, having looked through there my thoughts seem nearly perfectly aligned with the OP, but tbh there's a lot of people living the "this is fine" meme over here, and at this point being blunt might be necessary.

@Gargron Excellent point (one I know thanks to all the updates I do on my own server). Y’all do great work, by the way, and the fact that you’re in the same conversation as funded/backed companies is super impressive.

My gripe with @o_simardcasanova’s thread is his grievance seems predicated on the assumption that the Fediverse should be an “equivalent” to Big Social, which by its nature, must play to Big Capital. Who ever said it should be that? He wants that, and that’s fine. Let BlueSky and Threads support the masses with Big Social, post-Musk. The Fediverse can serve those who benefit those masses with productive ideas, discourse, and leadership.

@Gargron @ernie To be clear Eugen, I immensely respect your work and the work of the team

You clearly punch above your weight considering the limited resources the foundation operate with

Thank you for everything you’re doing!
