@thisismissem You often make perfect sense, and I often feel a bit guilty going on about quoted posts. But only because I saw us in a race to capture journalists. That ship has sailed. But we can now pivot and let Threads lure them in, then contribute new tools to support them and everyone else.

@shoq quote posts now has funding from NLNet for both several FEPs and implementation in Mastodon backend, web, and mobile.

Scheduled for 4.4: oisaur.com/@renchap/1122998602

@shoq fwiw, 4.3 is shipping "soon" apparently. I'm trying to land a bunch of OAuth changes still and other things if I can rebase them in time.

@ThisIsMissEm I donโ€™t pretend to grok all the issues, but I think a massive funding drive to support the core team would make a lot more sense than the distraction of a hard fork which would be unlikey to have the cred, team, or experience to raise much money. And money changes everything.

@shoq yeah, that's why the 501(c)3 just setup by Mastodon is so important. It allows tax deductible donations to the project for US residents / tax citizens.

e.g., there's been recently two $100k donations (which is why Mastodon is hiring, iirc)
