I get it. It's still beta, and we're only like 2% of the market. Makes sense not to worry about us yet.
Not compatible with Firefox is the fastest way to know they don't follow web standards. On brand.
I dislike Apple more than most people, and they are indeed terrible with standards in general, but with web standards they're doing the world a bit of a favour by pushing WebKit (based on KHTML) on all its users. WebKit is open source and used in for example GNOME Web.
Had it not been for Apple nobody would give a shit about creating websites that work outside of Chrome.
2% and shrinking with every major service that isn't compatible
Then we'll make our own fedi-services with blackjack and hookers, someday… One can dream.
