@pasture You're right, but we need two or three max. Pleroma, Mastodon, and Misskey are fine. But Lemmy? Do we really need another backend written in Rust?
@pasture

1. Web browsers are backed by companies with millions or billions of dollars. Fediverse software is made by poor people desperately struggling to usurp big tech tyranny but failing to rally around a single codebase.

2. Good idea. It would increase interoperability and reduce waste.
This arrogant view of the fediverse is just like ActivityPub itself. To wit:

"We have a solution to all your social networking needs".

Actually you don't. Have you even asked me what problems I require solutions for?

"No. Because you don't matter. Only we do. If our solution doesn't solve your problems, you need to redesign your customers and their needs so that our solution works for them".

No. My customers were here long before you were and we've met their needs and have the working code. You don't. Ergo, you have the wrong solution.

"We will crush you like a worm because we are the chosen ones. and you will be assimilated or die."

Have a nice day.
I really don't understand why there are so many competing fediverse backends. Frontends makes sense. Backends... just use Pleroma. Writing a new one is way too hard. It would be easier to fork Pleroma and add any additional functionality.

Nothing gets your blood pumping first thing in the morning like a triple coronary bypass surgery.

I'll only get four hours of sleep tonight?? Dang.

Best believe imma nap tomorrow den

Smartphone hot take 

The feel of a screen protector is cooler and smoother than the feel of a naked smartphone with no screen

It's so clammy lol

@jasonl8446 I think gleasonator is the biggest -first instance rn

When SPC and FSE get it we'll see how well it works on massive -second instances

@jasonl8446 Well, that's actually +

I know FAB has FE as the default but with as an option, and FSE and SPC have plans to add it too

@jasonl8446 Many instances do, like fedi.absturztau.be Or (hope I spelled that right) and I believe jaeger.website
