So I'm testing #LittleFedi and it does seem really good but this one thing keeps praying on my mind. Why would the group of people that make it want to remain anonymous? Is it because if folk found out and linked them to something that happened in the past which they'd rather avoid? Or am I just over thinking this maybe? I do like it but I love #Snac too and it is my first love. What's everyone else's thoughts on the secrecy behind LittleFedi and it's overall usability over other software out there like Snac, GTS and Mastodon ?

I don't think it's secrecy, I think it's privacy, and we should respect that.
When it comes down to it, we don't know the identity of many developers anyway, It's just a name that we may see has contributed to a few things here and there. I've never gone to look up who grunfink is, for example, nor have I felt the need to.
Personally, I'm OK with it. I think Stefano is a trustworthy person, so I am happy to have him vouch for the others.
You're actually right Paul maybe I'm just being a bit too untrusting.

That's OK, we all have reasons to distrust sometimes. Naturally, I wouldn't be happy if my trust is broken, but I don't want to be in a world where distrust is default.
The old "fool me once, fool me twice" thing I guess!
