All this conversation about #Meta on #Fedi feels like the worst parts of geek culture. So technical, without understanding context or what strikes can actually do. My thoughts:
Meta will make a great app for Fedi because it has more money to throw at the task. People will start using that because it's better. It will have QTs and an algorithm. People they want to follow will be there.

@loshmi maybe we can beat them to it and continuously add features incompatible with p92? that’s probably naive.
@bri_seven fair idea although the features need to be actually what people want, and I don’t think @Gargron would do that
@loshmi @bri_seven @Gargron glitchsoc is right there and it has oekaki and markdown which i don't think mastodon ever pulled back upstream
@loshmi @bri_seven @Gargron *key instances have arbitrary emoji reactions on posts and i think the only other instances that can receive/display those are akkoma and sadly pleroma
@loshmi @bri_seven fediverse is already so much bigger than mastodon and at this point my disdain for @Gargron rivals my disdain for zuckerberg and that reflects in how much people think the fediverse is just mastodon
