   Eshu is mostly a project I am intending to start with somebody else taking it over in the future.

   I don't really have the time, but willing to get it started.

   It is named after Eshu, the Yoruban trickster who kills elephants. That should give an idea about a conceptual feature roadmap.

   We are going to write it in Go, it is going to be ActivityPub-first; we may add support for OStatus later.

   Key planned features include policy-defined message filtering using SAT-solving, split timelines based on rules, pattern banlists, keyword mutes and basic Mastodon API compatibility.

   NO, IT WILL NOT FEATURE ACTIVITYPUB READ RECEIPTS, I WAS KIDDING ABOUT THAT

      Other design goals:

      * When in doubt, do the opposite of whatever Gargamel would do.

      * Seriously I can't stress the above point enough.

         Also, I wonder if it is possible to have multiple frontends, for example, if you want to have a Medium clone that is federated verses a Twitter clone.
