Hi! :)

We intend to rewrite the whole caching system during this summer.

We intend to improve both network and load balance and, as a consequence, that should improve.

Can you elaborate on that?

We want to work on some UI/UX improvements and @dansup has some plans in mind, but I guess it will depend a bit on how fast we are tackling the other issues tho.

Keep them coming as you remember! :)

We just like GS and believe in its potential.

We will remain true to the values that have always been intrinsic to *GNU* social.

I think it is hard to claim GS has a single culture. There is a collective conscience in a subscribers circle, another in an instance, another in a circle of highly connected instances and so on. We can escalate this to the point in which we analyze the fediverse's collective conscience with principles like a preference for decentralized services and eventually some technological comfort?.

People have different interests and ideologies... I guess there is space in the fediverse for everyone's interests and ideologies. GS just is, I don't think it or its devs take a role on setting a culture more than gcc devs do in who will use their compiler.
