Isn't that what I'm asking if they fixed, am I not understanding, or are you fucking with me?
They are assuming that the developers are in on it, you're assuming the developers are not in on it.
Realistically, big breaking changes are a source of serious pain for open networks like these. They're not going to be compelled to fix it until it's an active problem when there are a lot bigger problems sitting around that are easier to fix.
Thank you for explaining it, I think you're right. Not sure why they wouldn't explain it to me, I can't read minds and that's an interesting conversation.
Which is even more reason for all the big instances to not federate, but it's their choice. All these smaller instance, weekend hobbyists are going to feel the pain. At least meta says they're going to integrate slowly. We'll see.
Don't worry, it'll sort itself out when it becomes truly painful.
Who is they? From the way you wrote it the only "they" would be the "alt right developers" from the headline.
