So you admit that as:Public isn't exactly a feat of engineering and technical prowess, but a demonstration of how any sufficiently motivated loser can build a tool to collect public statuses that were posted publicly to public timelines?

Privacy scopes work across fediverse software packages. That's why there's an interoperable standard!

At the end of the day, it sounds like zoomers need to learn something that's been drilled into previous generations heads for decades: If you post it on the Internet, it's there forever.

The experience and usability of the social network, to people who are actually interested in social network, far outstrips any competing desires from people who are a) Using the software incorrectly and b) Being gatekeeping shitbags about it. For every post from someone complaining that as:Public is "harmful", I can show you 5 others complaining about the lack of discoverability and full-text search on fedi.

Finally, I need a gig. I was told to make a software project that people would use so I could put it on me resume. In fact, 2 out of every 3 people who gave advice on this front, gave this specific advice.

In a world where I need a job so I can stop stealing cryptocurrency from druglords on other continents, *or* someone to play League with... If people want as:Public to not exist, they've got precisely two options.

And if as:Public is truly as dangerous as people claim, either of those two outs should be considered vastly preferable to the alternative.

0.1.5 releases today.
