I don’t think Voyager has this problem. Highly, highly recommend, both on desktop and mobile. The UI is slick enough that it’s kept me here. All I do is laugh at shit memes but it’s perfect

Hyped for this

FUCK YEAH

Do we have a c/theyknew anywhere? Because these motherfuckers knew

Autistic queefing

The most depressing and convincing theory I’ve read about the state of American democracy is Sarah Kendzior’s book “They Knew”.

The tl;dr is that the US is ungovernable. The ruling classes don’t have the will to fix the economic and cultural divides that split the country and there’s an unspoken understanding between them all that the only way is down.

So they’re letting it run its course, letting the weakest fall into the gears and skimming off what wealth they can, to insulate themselves from the inevitable chaos.

Shout out to the Sculpt ergonomic keyboard too, my go-to for many years.

Boost is lovely and polished and you can see that tons of work has gone into it.

Tell you what though: while I was waiting for Boost, damned if the Voyager (fka wefwef) PWA came out of nowhere with (I think) some of the nicest UX of any of the contenders, plus an insane release schedule because they can just push changes whenever. Voyager is honestly what has kept me here. (…he says, posting from Boost)

Dot see eh?

Yeah tbh this is how I did it and I consider myself tEcH sAvVy - still started with .world because I didn’t know where else to go.

And you know what: that’s your choice and it’s perfectly fine. As someone else put it the other day: fediverse working as intended.

It’s an interesting thought experiment. Would wefwef or some equivalent have been possible if React had never been released? Course it would; Angular was and still is a great framework, as is Vue.

Time for a controversial and uninformed take: React gained so much traction early on because of the connection to FB, back before everyone hated FB. Every halfwit tech manager heard of it and had to get on the hype train. It wasn’t ever “better” than Angular but it reached a critical mass and just snowballed.

The FB engineers built it and GraphQL for themselves to solve a specific set of problems on the Wall page but it took a LOT of open source contributors to evolve it to where it is now.

More clicks! More revenue!

Alrighty, I had a browse around and I’ve settled on lemm.ee + Jerboa and it’s looking good. Thanks for all your hard work handling the influx of reddfugees like myself. This gives me hope ❤️
