It's a bit weird. Hope he/she is well.
@random @kevinronceray @dansup Yeah, it is a bit weird. Hopefully Tom was just tired of the project and wanted to move on. Worryingly it is a bit too hasty for something like that... :\
@shellkr @kevinronceray @dansup
The only thing I hope is Tom being well. Maybe he just need some rest from his coding career. It's normal.
@random @kevinronceray @dansup Perhaps.. or perhaps he got bullied out by alt-righters. Wish he'd provide some more context..
@shellkr @kevinronceray @dansup
2021 has just started and it's being pure bullshit, man! OMFG
@shellkr
Agree, when we saw this we were worried that to say anything could send him over the edge, it might made it feel more real. So we just quietly let it go.
We just hope he hasn't been lobotomised him. Sad but honest concern.
We hope he is able to recover from whatever is afflicting him.
@shellkr @random @kevinronceray @dansup
Why didn't we ask him?!
We should have asked him.
Yesterday we tagged him in a toot. We didn't ask how he was doing because he would just ignore that question.
We are going to keep him in our thoughts for a while.
@dansup I wish he would tell us more. Such a sudden move is concerning.
@dansup
That's sudden. It is a fine application and very productive developer. Hope they did not burn out from development.
In the last break in 2020, his father had died of corona. There was also a long silence. Then I don't suspect anything good either...
@mondstern Yes, I remember that. It's pretty sad, I hope he is okay.
@dimitrisk @mondstern Thanks for the context, I have attached a screenshot in case that gets removed.
@dansup @dimitrisk @mondstern what the fuck this is awful! We need Tom!
;.((
@liaizon sad news indeed :/
@dimitrisk
That breaks a bit my heart. :( but I understand
@dansup @mondstern
I wrote about it but I am now shadowbanned on mastodon.social. Can't find anything anymore.
All official ActivityPub, W3C and SocialCG hashtags are gone.
However, please note that also fediverse.space is looking for new maintainers
@sl007 Since when does Mastodon have shadowbans?
Good question. Can't ask.
Admin blocked me too.
All official ActivityPub hashtags are gone (we tested).
People do not receive my DMs from m ".social" (we tested).
Now multiple people informed but seems they do not care.
@dansup what does this means for users of Fedilab? Do I need to find a replacement? It's practically the only app I use on my phone, next to Antennapod. Definitely the best fediverse app I've found for Android.
@dansup
What? I like this app.. bad news :(
@dansup its very weird. Just a few days ago I read something along the lines of "back on fedilab development again"
@dansup @random @kevinronceray Here's the explanation... https://framagit.org/tom79/fedilab/-/issues/498
@shellkr @dansup @kevinronceray
I expected something like that. :(
Hope he get stronger soon. A temporal disconnection is a good thing.
@Utzer @heluecht @dansup @kevinronceray @random
True.. very true.. but I don't think there is any way around it because of how FOSS projects work and should work. A package maintainer do play this part a little bit though. The thing is that you need that connectivity.. It is kinda inbuilt.
fedilab
@dansup SJWs harassed him off
@dansup man, hope that doesn't get to other devs too. Like you I mean.
Said this before: leave the devs alone and let the admins to their job.
@dansup
It's forking time!
