    Can you elaborate on the ‘politics’?

    I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded ‘hate speech’ filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

    Anything else I should know about ?

      The two main devs seem to be Tankies or have at least close views. From what I heard, the hardcoded filter isn’t a thing anymore and was removed after heavy protest from other contributors. The good thing is that they don’t have any control outside their own instance and in worst case people would simply copy the project (since it’s open source) and move on without them. I hope that the different instances + community take a part of the donations to pay independent full time code contributors.
