   What a minute. I thought we had to worry about Embrace-Extend-Extinguish from major corporations. It sounds like Mastodon is using that strategy themselves.

     @NEETzsche @scott Literally nothing would happen even if said flag would get implemented. Other engines will simply ignore it, and the worst thing that could happen in this case is Mastodon instance on receiving end rejecting the post.

     The people in that Github issues thread seem really reluctant to take t he idea seriously.

     @mint @scott @NEETzsche if they reject shit it just means that there will be two fediverses.

     Honestly we'll probably implement the flag but just always set it to false lol. I wouldn't even really object to such a flag being there, I'm just not writing any enforcement mechanism for it, either.

     @Pawlicker @scott @NEETzsche @mint Frankly the Takei-tier side of fedi is sclerotic anyway. Every instance there has its legs blown off by jannyisms. Most of the growth in fedi activity is on our side, which mostly uses Pleroma + forks and Misskey over the PHP atrocity that is Mastodong. Even the Mastodonger forks of the aforementioned software are dogshit (see: ACK-oma, Firefish #RIPBOZO). I don't particularly care which way the vote goes. Let them dig their own grave.

     I agree with everything you say here except this: Mastodong is written in Rails, not PHP. But yeah, I totally agree that the Mastodong side of fedi is by and large self-censored into oblivion. The jannyisms are just too much.

     Don't tempt me to actually write a fedi instance BE in PHP for this reason. Thing is, I think shithosts are going the way of the dodo bird anyway. Nobody uses them. "Just get a VPS" is an answer people will accept.

     @NEETzsche @Tadano @scott @mint if mastodon was php it'd be easier to run given any shithost could run it
