@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.
