I mean maybe but you could also just say "we did some whacky shit here help us fix it please" and let the community help you in the effort. That's the beauty of open source. Then again they may have their reasons and frankly I'm not even interested in a TikTok like social media so w/e as long as they don't eat up their word it's fine.

Which I think dansup should deserve our trust on this for quite a long time for doing. It isn't empty promises if they already made Pixelfed and opensourced it.

Like.. I suppose it could be a grift, anything could but I see no reason to question their goals or motives.

It's missing a libre software licence text file.

sender, recipient, chatroom, what kind of event you sent (message, emoji, reaction, vote), if you responded to a message, room privilege changes, etc

but it's a question how big of a problem is that. they want to tackle it in the future, but that's far away for now I think

it's not even true information, the new tech stack is zero trust
