crying in decentralization efforts

Hell, even worse, crying in the lost information. Discord is a black hole where community knowledge goes to die.

It's the worst.

I hate it so much, even when I NEED to go there for help and support, I know I'm likely the tenth person to ask the same question. I honestly don't know why so many people love this way of support, just document it!

The Discord-based "support" makes it a "meh." The main devs alt-right BS makes it a "hard pass."

Lemmy was created by a tankie, many of whose opinions I abhor.

As long as it's FOSS and doesn't inherently promote their beliefs, I will use the software.

I agree it's not great and I'd prefer if it weren't made by imbeciles

Tankies are annoying, but they're not on the same level as fascists.

TBH, it is very difficult to me differentiating between the different flavors of authoritarians.

Maybe someone can make an easy to understand comparison matrix? You know, "Kills people because they have a different opinion.", "Suppresses minorities.", etc.

Both facists and tankies have genocided disabled people and selectively killed anarchists.

As a disabled anarchist, they end up seeming pretty similar to me.

Why always discord.... Why!!!!

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago

because a turn key platform they don’t have to self host and maintain frees them up to do the work.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 21 points 4 months ago

Oh shit. I despise Discord, why not a normal forum?!

Good, the world is in dire need of competition in this arena.

To go along with the alt right stuff, one of their major donors is Shopify.

Alright, read up on it a bit more. Sadly the language choices (C++ now, maybe Swift later) rubs me the wrong way for something that needs to be incredibly secure against attacks. I really really support additional browser engines, but likely not this one.

Thus I think Servo is a better choice for those looking to contribute. IMHO.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 19 points 4 months ago

Quite happy to see Servo coming along again. I am still excited for Ladybird and it seems more likely to deliver a truly viable browser sooner.

I am not a Swift dev but I think it has decent memory safety as well. I think it is one of the reasons Ladybird is moving to it. They evaluated Rust and decided it lacked the OOP features they needed.

The C++ that Ladybird writes is also very good. They have their own standard library (written for SerenityOS) which is very modern including memory safety and security. Still C++ though of course.

We definitely need more competition in the browser space, I just wish it wasn't using such a permissive license as the BSD.

I'll be great. The big question is how long it's left until a stable release

Once Servo is finished, we might have a browser rennaisance (I hope)
