hey thank you very much, I am very interested in Zot, when i say how Mastodon or Misskey have a limited horizon of possibility i have those projects in mind ( also friendica and their diaspora support is cool, diasp has a very welcoming culture, idk why fedi instances don't just add a bridge, lazy af, skimming the code it looked like friendica just has one Diaspora.php file that handles all of that, and honestly i think php is better suited for a decentralized social network than ruby or node, easy to learn and modify etc.
i was considering running Streams, I have a Hubzilla account but honestly not the biggest fan of their frontend and i don't think i ever figured out how to use most of it lol, i've been messing around with implementing my own minimal zot/AP server in PHP but would certainly be easier to just make a new frontent for either HZ or Streams and maybe build some addons
BTW Has someone updated the Chess Addon? last i checked they broke it, only chess is a huge thing and if you can chess over zot all types of gaming possibilities open up
