Surprised it didn’t rewrite it’s own X with blackjack and concurrency
wait until you hear about this project called lemmy
Lemmy was written in Rust?
(Edit: damn, over 75% of the codebase is rust. Nice)
I’m actually surprised there aren’t already 20 alternatives to Twitter written in Rust
Good. No one with any sense still uses that site.

Trump has now ordered NIST to reverse their recommendation on Rust.
Fuck you and have a nice day.
I knew what it was but clicked anyways.
Oh nyoooo, Rust is woke
- Lunduke (probably)
He crapped on Debian for this reason too. & for some reason people think he’s a journalist.
Also will Pleroma & Akkoma get any love & I also hope they create a Matrix room as well
I’m happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.
But you cant call yourself the “town square of the internet” while hiding things from people you cant monetize.
Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).
Good news, it was mostly private for profit entities doing the censorship
I wasn’t on X, but now I’ve created a mastodon account :)
You’ve managed to create a 2+years old account, congrats
Huh? I might be misunderstanding something (maybe a joke, even!), but this is my lemmy account, that’s kinda older indeed. How would that be connected to my mastodon account?
Eh. I mixed them. My bad.
Thank you! I mean how many more reasons do people need?
That’s crazy.
Nice.
I still dont get why people use bluesky. I mean if you really want a pseudo federated social media, might as well use twitter and not migrate. Its ridiculous.
Because it is a decently polished app that is by many metrics a step up from Twitter, and it has a ton of people. Social networks will always be a numbers game. Some will hit the curve and some won’t, but it is often not linked to technical merit.
I assume people want something centralised like Twitter but without Musk. Most people don’t care about federation and don’t want the extra complexity and division it causes.
Network effect. Its where everyone is.
Bluesky is excellent that’s why.
if you really want a pseudo federated social media
The vast majority of people don’t, they simply want something like what Twitter was before elon ruined it. If the Twitter exodus resulted in mass adoption of federated platforms, it’d be a happy coincidence.
Moderation is better, including better personal moderation filters, etc
