@communist okay I can see where youāre coming from - I just understood to start that you think it would thrive better without any other companies, and honestly the people on those platforms doing what they are doing wouldnāt come as benefit to a community like this nor would it get in the way if they continue. And the features set to come over the years are something that byā¦having letās call them, colleagues in the industry, working on different aspects that may become of benefit
@communist I believe itās possible. But not here yet. And the fact that you arenāt even open to see that there will be a need for improvement over time. And I see a lot more people vocally defending it to the end without seeing any of the arguments - and especially from a code base perspective trust me thereās things that will get left behind until itās too late unless there are others pushing boundaries
@communist I donāt think itās impossible, and I personally strive with the software I create to do exactly that and to join open source communities. Just what you are saying is only true if it genuinely was better. And it isnāt, it is great at something things and shit at others. And although itās still improving it is behind others with many aspects that are getting talked about on the open forums and in the developer networks simply because of a little something called competition.
@communist yeah open source brings people together to make it better. But better than what? Than the competitions! People would be happy with version 0.5 or something, but constant new technology changes in the industry push to make new and better tools for the open source world no??
@fades@MayonnaiseArch I do think that Mastodon is GREAT :D but there's no harm in wanting multiple platforms for the range of people that there are. Competition drives inovation, and Mastodon has a few things it lacks that others already offer. Not saying everything needs adapted, I like what's on offer, but there will always be room for growth, and competing and sharing in other platforms growth could be beneficial. Twitter used to do great, and still could but as of now isn't.
