Eugen has always seemed pretty clear-eyed about this kind of thing.

    I don't think so. He often hold down PRs and when push them almost all the times makes sure that they wont be compatible with the majority of activtypub implementations.

    That may have been some time ago? The team has been larger than just Eugen for quite a while now. In terms of "won't be compatible with the majority of AP implementations", is there a specific PR that has been changed to make something incompatible? I'm not sure I understand what you are describing. I'd love to know where we can improve, here.

    Mastodon doesn't have groups?

    Right, but I mean, the platform was originally designed without them in mind, and there's no real reason why every piece of software needs to have every piece of functionality.. I'm can see why they wouldn't be prioritising it

    I suspect I would love it if groups were in mastodon, but I'm not entirely sure it won't backfire in some horrendous way (this is social media after all)

    "This kind of thing" being big picture dynamics of how to run a social media project.

    I've also had a mastodon PR stall, but I think they get so many, many with competing demands, and have so few staff, that it's not really surprising that it's a bit mess on that front...
