To answer some common questions I get:

Yes, we want to have proper safety features for Quote Posts. We got enough feedback from Xitter to know how they can be used for harassment. Maybe this is not a concert to you, but it is for us.

Yes, it takes time, but we are a very small team, with only one full-time developer for the backend. At the moment, handling the day-to-day (reviews, bug fixes, security) is already more than what we can handle, so everything takes more time that we would like.

As always, you can help by contributing, either:
- with code, we are mostly looking for people able to contribute a "large” features after getting guidance from us
- with money, by donating to the project, which allows us to hire more people: joinmastodon.org/sponsors

@old_hippie Backend is Ruby on Rails, frontend is (old) React + Redux

@renchap @old_hippie any chance someone will be hired to focus on rewriting it on a more used language so development can be more efficient moving forward?

@renchap That's not one I have in my toolbox. I'll donate some money instead.

@renchap are you going to ignore the de facto standard implemented already in other fedi software or do you plan to support it? if yes, how?

@renchap am appreciating the thoughtful approach!

It's not a concert for me, but apparently it'll be music to the ears of many...

@renchap What safety features do you have in mind? I think the dynamic this sets in motion won't really be receptive to features 🤨
