I'm glad to see there's actually very few signatures, and I hope Eugen ignores it. What a bunch of entitled brats - if they don't like what's going on, they can fork the project. Or they can write their own IOS app with all the goodies they want on it.

The letter's kind of all over the place, too... more like trying to smear dirt and it's not terribly focused.

Maybe the signatories and the originator should be contacted with a note stating "Why do you think this hasn't gone anywhere?"

I mean, really, how insulting to Eugen.

I'm old enough that I remember when the same sort of smear tactics were deployed by certain companies against anyone writing popular open source projects.

I agree. The only issue I really disagree on is that he doesn't want to add groups to Mastodon which is a pretty important feature of social networking sites.
