   @wxcafe I said that I wanted to replace GS with better software since pretty much day 1. The progression of outrage on their side of the pond is hilarious

     @wxcafe I mean like what's the point of creating an alternative implementation from scratch, if you don't believe it's better, and if you believe it's better, in what world do you not want it to dominate?

     @gargron As a GS user who has masto-friends, I wouldn't say that either is better, but rather that they serve different niches. Masto is better on the privacy aspect but it's shed useful features *cough*groups*cough* to get there (Or at least I ever see any masto-friends using groups). Just because I'm working on #up doesn't mean that I think it's inherently superior to #social or to #mastodon, but rather that I think it fills a different niche.

     @Gargron @wxcafe Perhaps in a world where the whole point of that software is to be an open standard, one where users are not tied to any single implementation?

     @gargron Sometimes you want to make something different but not better. Like if I make a new recipe for cake doesn't mean

     @gargron you want to destroy all previous cake recipes. Anyway I'm not personally upset at you but I definitely am happy with GNU social.

     @gargron You don't destroy GnuSocial but you are destroying the idea of a federated network. A federation works only with partners and with compromises - if someone of the partner looks only for own goals federation can't work.
     
     I just lost several mastodon accounts which I can't read any more. If you think this is really "a better" solution - I don't agree. @taknamay

     I mean, is there anyone "on our side of the pond"? I thought the GS devs were hibernating...
