It's obviously an outrage that #ResPublicae is still on Mastodon v3.5.

Mastodon v4 was released in 2022 but we still don't know how to satisfy some needs of ours:

1. Disable the "explore" page which pushes potentially harmful trending posts.

2. Avoid promoting federated accounts and posts from the front page, especially in the profile directory and explore page.

3. A local profile directory.

Is #glitchsoc the way to go? Some instances seem to have solved some of those issues, but not all of them.

Another advantage of Mastodon v3.5 is digital preservation. Server-side rendering allows the #InternetArchive to successfully archive our pages with minimal effort, as seen in:

Mastodon v4 timelines are difficult to archive (while presenting no difficulties for abusive scrapers) so the wayback machine snapshots are hit and miss:

However things seem to have considerably improved in the past two years on this front as well, so that's not a reason to delay the upgrade further.
