@JustinH to be clear, I am not expecting it for free. But until someone gives me the tiniest bit of confidence that they understand and sympathize with my concerns (which I will be honest, I am not hearing from you) thinking that I will contribute is a fool's errand.
@TechConnectify I'm assuming people have suggested starting a bounty for the changes you want? That's the usual path for non-programmers to accelerate creation of new features in FOSS projects.
On another note, I've had a business idea for a while now to run an small, but aggressively moderated instance for the follower-privileged folk who don't want Twitter/BlueSky/Threads. I doubt your experience is unique. Maybe it's time to get serious about exploring that!
