All this defederation drama reminds me of the old 90s/2000s forum days where communities where split into ever smaller groups over rather banal disagreements until you had like dozens of forums with ever smaller userbases and various grades of moderation policies and technical capabilities, often leading to complete data lass after some admins noticed that there’s actual work behind running internet services for lots of users. I worry the Fediverse is headed in a similar direction, though I hope I’m wrong.
Pulling out the banhammer and limiting almost 10k users for a disagreement between admins feels childish, imho. They could’ve just as well blocked just the admin of firefish.social from interacting with mastodon.art users. If I were on mastodon.art, I’d be migrating to space with saner administration.
Edit: Clarity.
Oh, sorry, I assumed I got it from F-Droid but unfortunately I got it via Play Store. 😞
There was an Android app out there where you could basically subscribe to GitHub releases and install their APKs, but I just noticed that the last Milktea release is from 2021 anyways: https://github.com/pantasystem/Milktea
Don’t know if GitHub releases are still in sync with Play Store releases though.
