On a related thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33562163) there was some discussion about the fork-centric model of Mastodon codebases and instances, so "will also be fixed" is one of those nuanced things: they may be fixed in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon but how long will it take to fold those patches into the forks and update the hundreds(?) of instances out there advertising their version number on the homepage? |
