Thanks for the well thought out and very detailed post. I can definitely understand the validity of points even if I can’t see it from my view point in regard to Android and diversity. I think there is a lot more that @manton can do in regards to GitHub issues and organizing priorities and feedback through that avenue. I would be extremely frustrated if I were in your shoes.

At the same time, the community of Micro.blog and my faith in @manton’s goals is enough to keep me around despite temporary hiccups or issues because I believe in his vision and I think in another year or two a lot of issues or growing pains that we see now will look completely different. The one thing I will say I don’t agree with is how you mentioned you think @manton’s beliefs and business model don’t match up. I think his intentions are pure and that, as I mentioned in another thread, content ownership is more about data portability than self-hosting and @manton has gone out of his way to make data portability incredibly easy compared to any other service out there.
