  • It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

    When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

    So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don’t see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.





  • Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

    People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is… something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

    This is current problem in society that we don’t tolerate different opinion.










  • It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

    Using “he” insted of “they” is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It’s like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

    There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.


  • These people started it and are doing it for fun.

    Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

    It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that’s a huge win whatever happens with browser itself


  • I see it just as extension to “cancel culture” in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.

    It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.

    Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don’t know what’s happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.

    I don’t see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.

    Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.
