    That is cool. The problem with this is the communication/branding. It will scare away anyone who isn’t a enthusiast or olds-chool type person. Something like joinmastodon.org would be the perfect thing I believe, but it would require a loooot of work.

      I kind of agree (and the joinmastodon or joinlemmy pages are actually open source and could be adapted), but there is a strong counter opinion by the ones running the joinjabber.org servers that it needs to be as simple (and Javascript less / ToR compatible etc.) as possible. Long discussions…

        Oh, I know this whole tirade from organizational work at freesoftware and free culture organizations in Norway. The surething way of a software dying is this way of thinking (I mean, not making any compromises and doing things idealisticly at the cost of reach to new usergroups).

        I guess a compromise would be to have several versions of the website.
