@flip @cblgh Yeah that's definitely worth considering. There's a bunch of features available besides local only posts that factor into this too—I originally didn't want to move to a fork specifically because of the potential maintenance/upgrade overhead and not being able to switch back, those are valid concerns!

@somnius @flip maybe @darius can chime in with his thoughts on the current status of Hometown's maintenance & such?

afaik, Hometown is explicitly about minimizing the difference between upstream & its changes–if only to reduce the maintenance burden.

i think local-only (and the speculative future feature of neighbourhood-only posting) would be a big boost, esp. given the situation today wrt online safety

@cblgh @somnius @flip Maintenance is going apace, although the latest Mastodon 3.3.0 introduced a ton of regressions and conflicts and I've been too distracted (uhhh being American) to put the time in to fix them right now. That said, I usually update to the latest upstream within a week of release.

In terms of what would happen if a feature was adopted upstream with a different implementation -- I would certainly try my best to provide a migration path.

@darius @cblgh @flip I greatly appreciate your response about this here, thanks so much!
