> I encourage devs to put their time into Pleroma instead; more people benefit from that, especially considering Rebased just imports all changes from it's upstream anyway.
For the end user, none of that matters much in comparison with the ability of just making a quote-tweet. You and Alex can continue having your fights; as an user and as someone running a commercial provider for AP software all I really want is to have software that can be used by people in a way that they want and that respects their freedoms. My feeling as an outsider is that the Mastodon devs are too stuck in their own ideology and the Pleroma devs are too focused on their own (techno-libertarian) audience. Alex seems to be the only one that, in his words, "just want to bring the normies to the Fediverse".
