I just hope over all these frustrating discussions Eugen won't give up, because if he abandons the project (or hands it over to "the community") it will just mean slow death. Seen it happen before for Diaspora, Friendica and Status.net, and would hate to see it happen again for #Mastodon.
So if you like Masto, show @Gargron some support, he's been doing a great job, and has always been open to suggestions and (reasonable) criticism.
