I do question why some people follow me, like I understand the trans people and the atp folks but everyone else? y?

the surefire way would be to start hornyposting or reskeeting nsfw art but we’ve gotta work up to those.

is this even an argument about having more than one thing??? that happens plenty. I’d be equally upset if someone vibecoded a worse version of a thing I made and then thanked me for inspo.

maybe we need standard.site but for short form video

like seriously I want these to succeed, and i'd like to contribute – cannot understand why they are closed.

(this applies to skylight and sprk, even if I do prefer sprk's implementation personally)

this is why Linux users on the internet get a bad rap and I don’t even disagree in this case

part of me wishes I didn’t care so much about this godforsaken hellhole because it’d be so easy to walk away atm

it’s not far enough out yet, so it’s still easy to run into the discourse’s remnants but also other spaces seem to be worse than usual.
maybe I’m just overly sensitive to it after having been away? idk?

bsky pls I need mute words per subject so I can yoink terms from a subset of the network.

(I should implement this)

seriously close to dropping mutes on a whole company’s worth of people + alumni when I come back because it does seem that a lot of this comes from about a single point

I saw someone else (that I also respect) making a similar point and ngl this kinda sucks?

I may / may not write up my thoughts but nobody cares (rightfully) and also it’ll alienate quite a few that follow me because I am hardline on the issue (which is a complicated feeling but at the end of the day maybe it’s fine??)

it has been over two days and this godforsaken discourse is still going. its a bit nice to have a break but the urge to poste remains and I can’t be bothered to enforce write only on main because I will fail.

the discourse reskeet was partially that I didn’t want to post about the list at all, and partially because I have a steaming hot take about vibing and the enjoyment of programming that will probably get me labeled as elitist or some other fun thing.

I fear the people behind it are being trolled by users on here and that sucks and I might need to consider some extra blocks when I’m back.

I wish I knew why people in circles I’m in tend to be pro - like what am I missing? is it because I don’t work in tech, or?

It’s the list discourse. some of it put me in such a foul mood it was difficult to muster up the motivation to do $dayjob, and deactivating was just the best option. hopefully people can be normal about it in a day or two (they won’t be)

annoyingly this breaks tangled but i'm only going to cause problems for myself there
