  Good to know. Maybe it's ass software, but if it isn't malicious I don't see the reason for tearing into it?

  
  
  I’m not trying to slag this off at all; rather, I want to point out that all the features which Bonfire presents as new and of their own invention have actually been available for well over ten years in a very well-developed piece of software. Potential users should be aware of this and perhaps take a look at Hubzilla from this perspective, rather than waiting for a piece of software that promises a lot but is still a long way from being truly useful.

    @Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ Yeah, that's absolutely fair. And good to know cuz tbh I did look at the page and thought, "Wow, this looks neat" Red flags to me in the form of comparison charts (weird thing to have for a free and open source project) so I was wondering if it was more malicious.

    @Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ It reminds me of those Mastodon users who have been wishing for "the Fediverse" to finally introduce certain very desirable features since 2022. And these features have been available in the Fediverse since 2015 or 2012 or 2010.
    
    On the other hand, thousands upon thousands of Mastodon users would have rioted, had they known that the Fediverse has had quote-posts since 2010.
