Felt this belonged here.
I knew I recognized him from somewhere. He was the developer of lib.reviews. https://github.com/eloquence
Well said. I wish it wasn’t so mainstream to want to buy into something just because it’s backed by a megacorp.
Buy into your home instance instead by setting up a recurring monthly donation. It’s doesn’t have to be a lot, some have tiers as low as $1. Alternatively, you could donate to the Lemmy dev team, or some of the devs that are creating these spiffy apps we’re using on our phones.
Either way is good. The most important thing is for Lemmy/Kbin to be, and continue to be, a community project. I personally donate to my instance.
yea and so mainstream to feel the need to squeeze every fucking penny out of anything humans create
Well said. I think people tend to think of the Fediverse as a competitor, but the goals are not the same. The Fediverse is wholly about the community driven by the community.
This is one reason the tech journalists and other “influencers” whining about the fediverse only gets an eye roll from me. We’re not building this for them. Frankly, if their only goal is an audience for their content, I don’t even want them here.
Collaborators and bootlickers… They were never #teampleb and I am tired of acting like they are anything but parasites seeking and using communities to sell their half baked vomit.
I will take any OG shit poster’s take most of the time.
With that said, obviously there are good outlets doing good work… Pro republica and ars…
This is why I’m not worried about rushing features into the fedi. We’re at an usable point right now, a lot obviously can be improved. But the point is that the fedi isn’t going away. A private social media can be nuked over night. If all ActivityPub devs stopped contributing over night, then more people would step up and continue. The fedi isn’t going anywhere and will continue to get better over time. There will be no stopping point where we run out of time. Development and improvements will be eternal until the heat death of the universe!
Lovely quote. Anyone else rooting for the underdog here?
I love a good underdog story.
Why not boost the post instead of creating an image of it?
I did boost it. If anyone else wants to, here’s the original post: https://social.coop/@eloquence/110663689429123291
Haven’t read it yet but this is facts
Okay, so I really do believe in the Fediverse. I’m working on a really big project in Kotlin that I have the intention of wiring up to AP later on.
