Where is the love for conduit? Everybody is preferring continuwuity or tuwunel? (lemmy.world)

I only read about people using continuwuity and tuwunel, but apparently none are using conduit. When searching, I only find "hate" against conduit, but no actual reason why people prefer the fork, except some ominous comments stating that it is practically unmaintained (which is not true). I found that conduit has the majority of features implemented, except minor things like threads (which is still WIP, to be fair) and presence. Also, it is rock solid, only using minimal resources. It may be slow in development, taking a bit longer to implement a new feature, but not too much longer. Or am I missing something the others have to offer?

If you are running a conduit fork, what is your reason for leaving conduit, and if you are running conduit, why didn't you switch?

If it is not obvious: I mean compared to conduit and its forks, not synapse, ....

I run Synapse currently but last I looked at Conduit it wasn't at feature parity with Synapse (granted, that has been a while). The other two I wouldn't touch with a 50 foot pole because of their stupid-ass names.

Rejecting something solely because of the naming choice of one person is, imo, far more indicative of stupidity. That and hating on someone else's joy.

-- Conduit maintenance slowed to a crawl (there was a single dev) so somebody made
-> Conduwuit brought the project up to speed but was abandoned and archived by the lead dev because she got significant hate including bigotry and false accusations, and had to prioritise mental wellbeing over the project. Then, two projects spawned from this
-> Continuwuity, maintained by dedicated hobbyists, and
-> Tuwunel, a corporate-sponsored fork funded initially by the Swiss government with at least one dev on payroll, maintained primarily by a co-dev of Conduwuit. Both teams loved the naming joke and kept 'uwu' in the name of their successors.

Synapse offers features first,
Tuwunel offers stable and timely updates,
Continuwuity offers a completely non-corporate, community run alternative.
Dendrite also exists
