… zathura seems interesting, it has support for plugins for different document types, but it seemed to open a PDF in secondary window (albeit on a desktop), whereas tdf allowed me to access the PDF inline in ghostty, which was great.

TIL about tdf. Thanks! it really does seem fast.

That may have been some time ago? The team has been larger than just Eugen for quite a while now. In terms of “won’t be compatible with the majority of AP implementations”, is there a specific PR that has been changed to make something incompatible? I’m not sure I understand what you are describing. I’d love to know where we can improve, here.

read https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/my-next-chapter-with-mastodon/ and https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/the-future-is-ours-to-build-together/

We are big fans of them!

Absolutely. In fact I wrote exactly that last year.

Completely agree that this “feels like” a centralisation vector. That’s not the intent of it, and if you read the blog post we make it clear that we want many Mastodon servers, everywhere, rather than one organisation hosting them all. This is to do two things - 1) get us a more sustainable financial foundation that is less dependent on grant cycles and 2) enable the larger institutions (EU Commission being an existing example) to get set up on the Fediverse.

Can confirm there are no plans for this to happen or be attempted. We’re getting the new European non-profit worked out (more news soon), no changes to the licensing.

That is the plan, you can see more in our previous blog post.
