    So why is it unreasonable for me to ask you to invest that time but is it reasonable from you to expect people that they invest more time?

    I never said that. but saying it is "odd" that i don't want to answer questions where people can learn about the project themselves comes off as a bit self centered.

    To be frank, registering and exploring a service costs more time than including a small submission comment would likely have cost you.

    There might be other things i could do faster then you, doesn't mean i should do them.

    I know, i used duckduckgo because of that (which i recommend you add to your information diet, because as you saw google has a problematic bias).

    for this specific post it strikes me as odd that OP didn't bother given the subject.

    I was busy. and honestly i am not sure answering was the best use of my time (unlike providing feedback on github issues). I don't agree with the attitude where someone takes some of his free time to share something cool and interesting and people expect answers from him. registering is easy and forming your own opinion is probably for the best. People who just write on social media without spending some energy on doing their own research and end up just spreading misconceptions on social media IMO . doing a search for "merochat reviews" also gave me some pretty good results.

    it is very similar to wusoup and maybe a little more buggy. but one recent improvement that i think makes it better is that it can show only the people online so it can act like a bar where you can go to if you feel like chatting with someone. in wusoup you will have to go over a lot of people who are not currently online.

    There are not a lot of people using it but that was true at somepoint for every platform and especially open source platforms that don't have investment money for rapid development and marketing. at this point i think it can only augement existing resources for finding people to chat with like wusoup/discord or specific subreddits like r/MeetNewPeopleHere.

    Checkout the SPI It's board of directors is elected among active open source contributors.

    Checkout the SPI

    These donations can be made to SPI directly, or they can be marked for use by a particular member project. It is preferred that the donations be made to SPI, as they can then be used wherever the need is greatest. Donations to SPI that are not marked for a particular project will be distributed to the projects that are currently affiliated with SPI as needed, and/or used for SPI's own expenses.

    There are some differences , see this announcement:

    There are some differences , see this announcement:

    We are no longer based on Misskey's latest releases, as at some point it became obvious that we had different visions, so we decided to continue as a standalone project. Since then we have added our own unique features, like account migration, a new layout to view posts and browse threads, and we are currently in the process of implementing Mastodon API compatibility and post editing – with many more changes and improvements planned for the future!
