you cant walk into a brand new thing and expect a mature feature set. it makes you sound like a coked up 12 year old.
everything youre complaining about are known quantities/features in the works in this brand new, still wet behind the ears protocol.
also; formatting. use some.
It’s not brand new. Mastodon is nearly 8 years old and ActivityPub 5-6 years old. It’s still early but I wouldn’t call it brand new
theres also the idea that age to maturity is irrelevant if the protocol is shit. ie, smtp
so it would take devs longer to account for the shitty protocol.
if I was complaining about the lack of a post translation button - yes, that's about features. emojies - same. but I'm talking about the architecture of the federation, the foundations on which the social network is built. and it seems to me that the pillars on which mastodon stands have big cracks. for example, the problem with profile post history was written back in '16 on GitHub, but nothing was ever done. there are good people there - the only reason why I'm there.
You know why the problem with profile post history has been fixed? Because Mastodon is not a company for profit it is a free and open source. If you want the problem to be fixed learn how to code and submit the fix , donate so they can hire more people or stop complaining about this. Contribute and make this place better.
would love to help financially, but fing politics interferes. Russia. foreign cards/transfers are blocked and very high dollar exchange rate.
Oh shit , well be safe my friend! Good luck
❤️
even though Ukrainians need safety way more, i hate politics
