@KS wow is your instance really running on Masto v1.6.1? OvO
@colinstu It is! The version number is no lie.
It's been modified a bunch such that it can keep communicating with modern Mastodon servers, but the base of it is indeed still 1.6.1.
@KS wow crazy x) how much effort/work has it been to keep it still tweaked/patched up and communicating?
@colinstu Too much, honestly.
At some point it turned from an "I don't particularly feel like updating, when the minor modifications I've made would need to be entirely redone" into more of a protest against the direction Mastodon has developed since.
@KS 1.6 is a LONG time ago! What direction/divergement happened back then?
