@selea Its bittersweet for me, I ran a statusnet instance from 2012 to 2017 and wanted to contribute and kind of take over as it seemed the project was languishing.

I was so close to shipping my SocialHub project a few weeks before I started Pixelfed, it was a GS successor, but looking back I'm glad I didn't because Mastodon, Pleroma and others are doing a damn good job!
