The Fediverse dev cycle is a horror/tragedy:
* There is a cool feature everybody wants
* Devs states they wants this feature as well and they're working on it
* 12 months passes
* People ask for the feature is going and devs offer the silent treatment
* 12 months passes
* Maybe some fresh developer sends a PR
* 12 months passes
* PR rots with comments of praise for the feature, and 37 rebases
* 12 months passes
* PR is closed (new developer leaves the community due to bad vibes)
* People move to Bluesky/whatever (you are here)
Spoiler: the devs are depressed and overworked with a massive roadmap, and all want to quit. They cannot find the motivation to work on anything due to debate/abuse about even the smallest change. They spend all of their time simply dealing with dependency upgrades.
Bottom line: Please consider giving a little cash to the developers.
