The good news is that our Android app development is moving really fast and we’re only missing the settings screen now. I think it’s reasonable to expect the app to launch within the month.

We’re going to try to hurry and release the Android app as soon as possible. And yes, we’ll try to publish it on @fdroidorg as well. Even two years on, I still have no idea which direction #Bluesky is intending to go. Though it seems like if they wanted to adopt an existing protocol, they would've already done so. I'll only say that the challenges of building a decentralized social network are anywhere but the actual protocol. Mastodon started on one protocol, then switched to another. Decisions that matter are in product design. Marketing. If they propose a new protocol, what would make it worth resetting all that to zero?

@Gargron I'd like to see less "designing the perfect system for one day maybe" and more adoption of Matrix and Mastodon as "the best options available today" People will agree and say "Things should be distributed" on their Twitter account or on Discord but they won't say "...but right now, today, you can go and create an account on Mastodon." @Gargron the aim of BlueSky seems to be to create a decentralized, federated social network that is controlled and monetized by a single entity. In other words, to square a circle. So this is going exactly as well as could be expected. 😉

@Gargron Might be worth noting than compiling C++ extensions for Ruby 3.0.x fails on musl-based systems: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17788 (For now I maintain a simple patch to backport the fix: https://github.com/Wonderfall/docker-mastodon/blob/master/ruby-hotfix.patch) Thanks for the work. :)

We're at 664 ratings across all countries. Would be nice to get that into 5 digits too... With the amount of care, effort and just plain old money put into the iOS app I'm very emotionally invested in its success. I've been using it daily since the first build and I'm personally convinced it's the best Mastodon app that's out there, at least for how I use Mastodon.

@Gargron it definitely the best, only thing lacking IMHO is a fed timeline. Since this is a SwiftUI, any plans to bring it to mac as well? All the others apps, they are electron, and then there is Mastonaut, but you can’t post toots longer than 500 even if your server allows for more. So... would the #DigitalMarketsAct basically make WhatsApp flip the XMPP federation switch back on..?

@gargron AFAIK WhatsApp does not use standard XMPP or OMEMO so it will not work out of the box with open federation XMPP. @Gargron Something like that :) But it'll take time: first the DMA needs to be voted (2022), then enter into force (2023), then the Commission needs to designate the gatekeepers (2023), and then they have four years before the full #interoperability obligation incl group chats applies (2027). Thank you big tech industry lobbying.

@Gargron received it and the UI now looks great on iPad. Fills the screen nicely. What the hell is the <link rel="canonical" href="null" /> tag on #YouTube shorts pages and where are the OEmbed discovery links?

"Select versions of the massively popular 'node-ipc' package were caught containing malicious code that would overwrite or delete arbitrary files on a system for users based in Russia and Belarus" Do not do this

@Gargron I originally read CDN to mean Canadian. 😝
@Gargron Mastodon as a Corporation Destroyer Network
@Gargron you have the approval of Jane.
