In recent weeks, people unhappy with Mastodon project talked about forking the project in a different direction. It's harder than it looks.

    I think it’s good for complainers to fork and experience what it’s like to manage a software project (or project in general). Maybe it’ll make them more humble and understanding.

    Don’t really see the point of forking, instead of landing features and patches as of yet
