@smallcircles I want to read it, and it's on a topic of importance to me, but I recognize that I don't have the focus or time.Also, I'm quickly running into information for which I lack referents, making it difficult to digest what the article is saying.I think what I'd need (for whatever that may be worth) in order to be able to digest this properly is some backgrounders on the major pieces mentioned:what is "solid project"?how does the "two people / pillars" situation correlate to the current state of Mastodon, specifically the Mastodon Foundation?exactly how has fedi strayed from [standards, early promise...]?I'd probably have more to ask/say but I keep getting interrupted, which perhaps gives you some idea of why I'm not able to read the article properly right now...
