      https://ind.ie/blog/focus/  Indie said they'd build a ton of stuff to get donations, now they're dropping most of it. But the WORST bit…

      Holy shit. It's basically "I'm sorry, but terrorists happened and people died, and now we can only build a small thing & only support OSX"

      I think too few are in control of too much when it comes to the internet. That needs to change, but there needs to be earned trust.

      Don't let this damage your trust in the indie web. It's more than one voice.

      @matmuchrapna Because I’ve had it with @jaffathecake taking every opportunity to twist anything he can against us. There’s history there.

          @aral @matmuchrapna eg: Aral used child abuse as a marketing tool multiple times. Me & others complained, he set his followers on us.

          @aral but I find @jaffathecake right in this case. And also I don't see any reasons to be offensive in our civillian world
