   @johnnyoftheswamp The blocklists are one thing, but there's also been a general attitude of not caring about the rest of the fediverse and established conventions.
   
   For example, both federated deletions and retweets didn't work from mastodon -> gs, because the xml of the generated activities was different. This is for no reason other than aesthetic judgment. I 'fixed' the retweets in GS, but the deletions are still broken.
   
   Other basic GS features like groups and polls will never be implemented by mastodon, it seems, as the main dev doesn't like them.
   
   Emoji were done as :shortcodes: until last release, which made them look wrong on every client except mastodon...
   
   The list goes on. It's all kind of small stuff that adds up.

     @johnnyoftheswamp Here's one recent example of the attitude: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1813. A piece of code in mastodon led to increased traffic that hammered many of the smaller instances. This was first dismissed as invalid with a 'not my problem' attitude, but later fixed after someone else actually looked into it.
