> Feels like it was run by an in-crowd, with no strong interest in new users. My more charitable interpretation of the experiences I had when trying it out was that they are stuck in a never-ending refactoring state where they are always in between the "old" and the "new" system, and you have to be very up-to-date to know which are the compatible beta versions of all packages (which can't be a good experience for existing users either). ----- I do like SSB for it's conceptual approach of trying to model existing social realities in technology rather than trying to build a technological model of communication and making humans conform to it. In practice however, I think it has been superseded with ActivityPub and Matrix, which build on very similar core primitives.
