Mastodon is the IE6 of ostatus apps
@animeirl More Edge, lacking a bunch of things, but not that bad :3
@animeirl massive userbase throughout it's lifetime?
@szbalint broken and won't fix anything because of majority userbase
@animeirl That doesn't really make any sense.
@pybyte attempting to change existing standards by fiat by abusing the fact it has a large userbase? Exactly like IE.
@animeirl I always thought the main problem of IE6 was slow development and large organizations refusing to upgrade.
@pybyte that also sucked but by far the biggest issue was then breaking the HTML spec and expecting everyone to follow along which is why things like quirks mode exist.
@animeirl it's like Apple with Unicode standards
@animeirl gnu social is the safari 5
