@rixx I'm really pissed off :-(
I know ppl mean well but grrrrr

@dlek me neither.

I think what you talk about is on a different level. it's how responsibly you deal with the privilege you have.

@jeroenpraat I don't know if that would be good, if development would be done by "the community" we'd need a clear structure and commitment. yes, can be done, and if that would be a coop project, yay!

BUT
Gargron has always been transparent about how that's not going to happen and how he will be making the decisions and he never tricked ppl into believing otherwise.

we knew that when we signed up here.

@jeroenpraat and I think, yes, forking off is a real good option and there are forks, and that's good enough in my book.

I'm non techy. I can't code. I rely on other ppl doing the work, I support them with a little financial contribution, and I want hierarchies to be transparent and not being lied to about an anarchist paradise when it's not.

that's all *I* need.

I'm really hoping I'll not lose my main instance *again* in this mess.

@distelfliege Actually I never heard Gargron sayinh that he wants to be a benevolent dictator forever. So I still hope (not demand) that he makes it a real community process. Not that I want everyone having merge rights, but a small technical group that listens to what a select group of community representatives wants.

That's all and that's not even anarchist in nature. Most larger open source projects have some kind of 'official' community influence.

1/2

@distelfliege But this is currently not reality, so it's waiting for Gargron to move into the right direction or a viable community fork. Whatever comes first. In both cases, Todon.nl will stay. My preference is a community led fork, but only if quality is guaranteed. These things are also essential:

- have good developers and expertise on board
- switching to a fork will not have a negative impact on Todon.nl users
- fork is not hostile towards other ActivityPub projects

@distelfliege ...but until than nothing is changing. 3/3

@jeroenpraat sounds very good :-)
and yeah a community process would be good.
