  • I think people’s concerns over the politics of the developers are overblown.

    It seems a little unnatural because people are trying to hide their racism, xenophobia, western superiority mentality, but the developers also made a lot of political posts to frame them as CCP talking heads. They should have just used alt accounts like rest of the internet platform owners. Rookie mistake.

    But, at least they’re honest about what they are and not covertly creating a foss product by hiding some sinister motive to rugpull later, like bluesky.








  • There are people that have never faced any serious consequence in their life. Life’s great on autopilot. There’s no critical thinking or sense of shared responsibility or empathy. The real world is a game you play to make fun of others misfortune.

    …until it happens to you <shocked-pikachu-face.jpg>

    Cue “I’m not a bad person, I didn’t think at all, I still don’t want to, but, someone please make it go away.”



  • Lemmy’s backend is very performant, the UI is janky though. Using the lemmy frontend and then an app that just talks to its APIs is night and day.

    Piefed is also new, with only about thousand users. Active users are going to be much less than that. It’s also written in Python, we’ll see how that scales.

    Lastly, the official instance is behind cloudflare, so all your login credentials are going to CF before it reaches piefed servers. CF is most likely tracking users too. This is a no-go if you give a shit about privacy. But with a CDN, yes it connects faster.

    So ya, kinda. It’s too early to tell and also comes with security (MITM) and privacy concern (on the official instance) with the CDN.

    It’s nice to see Lemmy and their egotistical devs getting some competition though.

    More options FTW.


  • Am not excited at the slightest. I’ve learned my lessons.

    Google is doing most of the feature development behind closed doors and very specific to google products. Even then, most of their own apps mess up every update. For someone who doesn’t use any google specific apps, It’s scary to update early and then have app incompatibility bugs/issues ruin the experience. I’ll give it a few more months before I even think of updating.


  • Lol, how many people do you think are using fedora specifically for gaming? You think fedora is some last year project that’ll die off once it stops supporting this specific “thing”? That’s some delusion of grandeur.

    May be Steam and gamers who want to keep things running without problems should step up to maintain those packages required to keep their games running. Then we’ll see how fast the toxicity towards the developers die down.

    Why do you think “alternatives are not ready”? Is it maybe because people who work on opensource project on their free time aren’t bothered by what internet strangers think? Why aren’t you working on one yourself?

    People shitting on opensource devs to work beyond their comfortability are fucking shitty human beings.
