@alex @shebang Ooh, nice! I'm looking forward to this!

> It pushes posts down the screen while you're trying to read them.

I've been able to circumvent this by scrolling down slightly; it halts the feed and stops the scrolling.

@shebang @alex Hmm...is it the interface, or the backend? I actually prefer the interface, it's just way faster on the backend.

I do wonder for those who do not like the interface, why that is. seems to be designed with normies in mind, but to be honest is a lot prettier, is as smooth as any instance would be, and even has more features than . But neither have really caught on.

I look at the interface and go, "man, this looks kinda weird and nerdy", and I wouldn't be surprised if other's felt the same way. I could see people wanting to leave , but honestly I couldn't see them running to . IMHO, design-wise, looks the oldest out of the three, and looks the newest. IDK what the end result is, but it would be nice to see become the new . The interface looks too nerdy to have mass appeal, IMHO

@realcaseyrollins @shebang The timelines do auto-update, new posts just get captured in a queue you have to click to expand. Planning to make it a user preference in v1.1, but I don't think it's better without the queue. It pushes posts down the screen while you're trying to read them.

@realcaseyrollins @alex I agree with Alex here, I think Mastodon already feels dated somehow — mainly the direction the developers are going isn’t somewhere promising. Despite being the Capital of Cancel City, it has terrible moderation features even. Pleroma is upbeat and active, new stuff happening — stuff people actually want. There really isn’t a reason to use Mastodon that I can think of, with the sole exception of its language filtering.

Misskey is really fun, but its .. very quirky. I’m curious to follow its development though.

@alex @shebang What makes you say it's becoming obsolete? Do you think people will switch away from it to in the near future?

@shebang I think Pleroma is doing everything right on a fundamental level. The switchable frontends promotes longevity, as that piece can be upgraded or changed completely independently of the backend. This allows developers to take the software in pretty much any direction they want. I envision a future where backend development is consolidated on Pleroma, and there are many competing frontend options. The fact it's interoperable enough to do that is amazing.

Elixir is a good language choice, and it's extremely efficient, lowering the barrier of entry and making it cheap to spin up hundreds of servers. I love everything about it.

I played a lot with Misskey today and it impressed me at how feature rich it is, but I think Pleroma is a better foundation and they will catch up quickly on some features.

Mastodon is out of the question, lmao. It has its perks, but it's very quickly becoming obsolete.

@shebang Where's ? I love the FE.

My preference is Glitch-Soc run on a backend.

is nice but the timelines don't auto-update

@moonman Hmm I used to read lotsa classic literature as a kid (Project Gutenberg + Amazon Kindle for the win, amirite) and they didn't use many "homophobic" slurs tbh...but yeah everything else is accurate

Well this is 2020 .. Judges asking about the contents of Elizabeth Warren's tweets. "Did the Tweet say anything about the---" is something I would have never expected back in 2008, on the record, in a Federal case about sovereign immunity

It’s imperative that we teach our children about the dangers of totalitarianism and anti-Wongism and how this always leads to genocide. Anti-wongism is a terrible, creeping, weed-like social blight.

We all know about the extremely charismatic yet evil Manchurian warlord 狼狗黄河 who rounded up 6 million Wongs and threw them into giant iron furnaces. History can never forget this heinous event. Manchurians and Asians in general must be constantly hounded over this lest we see another 狼狗黄河-esque dictatorship manifest. Honestly, Donald Trump’s presidency reminds me a lot of 狼狗黄河‘s Third Heavenly Dynasty…scary times!
