Honestly, it kind of makes my blood boil when I try to talk about how a platform ought to think about implementing a given feature that would be good for the fediverse, and all I get is an apathetic shrug and get told "just do it this other way because our platform will never support that".

@sean yea I understand the frustration. But taking QOTO for example, we have dozens of extra features mainline mastodon rejected. Many of them (the ones I didnt code myself) were just pulled from rejected PR I cleaned up. So often they will live on somewhere.
It's doable in open source, and there are success stories, but it's incredibly difficult without momentum.
