@rasterman @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @Thomuu And the worst part of this is that these effects are usually done by JavaScript libraries like jQuery which take too much storage, so everyone just leaches off of Google's servers.

That's another thing I hate about modern web development. These developers can't do shit themselves. They have to use shit from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. Web devs are the fucking worst.

@rasterman @ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @Thomuu Well depending on the software and front-end your instance is using you could have content fading/sliding in. Luckily, it's optional.

@ChristiJunior @TheMadPirate @rasterman @Thomuu 2007 saw what was coming. 2010-2012 was when it really went downhill. Digg made some retarded redesign which caused Reddit to become more popular. And since Reddit allowed users to create their own boards, forums started dying. Tumblr became the most popular blogging platform around the same time. And because of those two sites becoming popular, independent and personal websites didn't seem relevant anymore. Now it's all social media pages.

2010 also saw the introduction of HTML5 which allowed idiot web designers to make bloated web pages using nothing but JavaScript and have all the content fade in as you scroll.

The only good thing that came around that time was IRC making a small comeback (mostly through web-clients), but then Discord came along and ruined it.

2007 was the Eternal September for the World Wide Web.

@Thomuu @ChristiJunior @rasterman @TheMadPirate Let's just hope we don't have anything like the Eternal September on Usenet if the Fediverse does become popular. I don't want this place to be filled with Facebook-tier memes and emoji spam.

@Moon That's because there aren't that many examples out there. I can only find the definition. But when you really think about it, it's really just the same thing as a forum.

But if Parler is really just a WordPress blog that allows users to post on it, then it fits that definition to a T.

@Moon So Parler is essentially a reverse blog.

@djsumdog It seems like everyone is falling for the Arch and Gentoo memes these days.

@rasterman @ArdanianRight Parler is secretly meant for AOC's naughty list.

>what kind of retard would sign up for Parler?
The same idiots who think that they're still safe using Windows if they use a VPN/Tor.
