My grandmother, who passed away last week, kept a beautiful portrait over her fireplace of the goatse guy flying a jet into the twin towers.

Yeah tbh this is how I did it and I consider myself tEcH sAvVy - still started with .world because I didn't know where else to go.

And you know what: that's your choice and it's perfectly fine. As someone else put it the other day: fediverse working as intended.

It's an interesting thought experiment. Would wefwef or some equivalent have been possible if React had never been released? Course it would; Angular was and still is a great framework, as is Vue.

Time for a controversial and uninformed take: React gained so much traction early on because of the connection to FB, back before everyone hated FB. Every halfwit tech manager heard of it and had to get on the hype train. It wasn't ever "better" than Angular but it reached a critical mass and just snowballed.

The FB engineers built it and GraphQL for themselves to solve a specific set of problems on the Wall page but it took a LOT of open source contributors to evolve it to where it is now.

You don't have to. He might have developed Mastodon but it's all open source, and he certainly doesn't "own" ActivityPub.

I don't even own an iOS device but I'm delighted that you and so many other devs have gone so hard at putting different apps out there.

They may not all take off, and users will likely graduate to a handful because of power laws and whatnot but that doesn't matter right now: you guys are shipping and you're giving us options. You all rock!

Something you wanna say?

Thought not.

Yeah, it's when they install their bozo friends, who in turn hire more bozos. No quicker way to fuck up a business.
