@citrustwee @kaniini @toilet How is it normal to have a photo album of actual children on your coffee table?

the main difference between mastodon and pleroma from a development perspective is that Gargron sees Mastodon itself as a product.

instead, we see the instances themselves as the product. we recognize that the "product" comes from the admin time spent on building their community and thus want to provide a good tool for them to do so.

this is precisely why we make everything configurable. in other words, the communities you build with the software are the actual product, and this has lead to a vibrant fediverse where everyone has their own corner.

Hey Mozilla, aren't we forgetting something here? Our very own "Mozilla Pledge for a Healthy Internet” states:

> Principle 2 The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.

> Principle 6 The effectiveness of the internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.

I've been saying this forever: do not call them clones (Twitter clone, Instagram clone, etc) Don't build the "free and open X" build the platform you NEED, whatever that is, and make it free and open.
