Since I worked on a Mastodon client, I know that there is a hide_collections parameter in the account settings which allows you to not disclose publicly your followers and following.

It's in the PATCH v1/accounts/update_credentials API request body, see documentation here.

Out of the frying pan into the fire? Another corrupt christian neoliberal, "without eastern influences" only until the wind changes? I doubt this is good news at all.

Feel you bro. Been there (and probably "about to be there soon") too.

Yes, the main fork (which was up-to-date with the latest changes) was moved to an organization co-owned by the same 2 people and it is being maintained in continuity with the same goals and spirit.

I'm Italian and just seeing Prodi's face (a picture of him 30 years ago btw) makes me sick. Don't worry guys, he has been never accurate in anything and literally lied to the nation in multiple occasions, so rest assured his words will never become true.

Italians are second only to Germans at mass deportations so he's learning from some of the top performers out there. Good job!

It's unlikely that any dev "kills" his work after being so committed to it and leaves users, whom he knew almost one by one, with a handful of dust.

This fork is the new official one. A new community has been created recently to replace the old one too.

We are planning to release a new version, at least on GitHub asap. The announcement is likely to be given in tomorrow's Q&A session (the monthly AMA).

It seems that they have decided to restart here and create a new community here.

update: we have decided to continue the project starting from the latest active fork and re-create a new community here.
