@maegul I’m not saying that you were blaming anyone. It’s just a shitty situation, one that I lament often.
I loved Firefish. I really thought the project had a moment where it was going to go big, but there were too many problems. It’s upsetting.
But yeah, I think we’re all hoping to see something get big like Mastodon, maybe even eclipse it. Why that hasn’t happened remains something of a mystery, with potentially depressing tells: most projects and developers in the space are barely making any income, are spread way too thin, and effectively doing hard work for years and years.
I want Fediverse projects to succeed. I think a few are in really good places. But, I worry that many are running themselves into the ground.
