$126k and you know he will only fork some fediverse code.
TBH I have no issue with that. If it federates and they can make some money off building a positive community for people who are scared off by today's fediverse, why not? There's definitely still room for user friendly alternatives to the reigning algorithms. Hopefully they don't go about it evil.
The problem is the network effect. Those 1500 backers will be walled off into his fork instead of joining and growing the existing alternatives.
