Isn’t there already a comm called Drama? I’d just check it out to be nosy tbh

Why dont people understand? They want it from the scratch!!

This is so true. It costs more money for the server power required for something like that to be pulled off.

There’s a comment in this thread going all crazy complaining about it being costly to host anything on the protocol to stop Bluesky from dominating it and everything. But im like “uhh yeah, servers and storage costs money”.

It’s just so weird how everyone thinks hosting popular sites should be free.

Yeah companies try to be fancy with these JavaScript heavy applications using React when sites work perfectly fine without all that stuff.

Right, and what’s even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they’re bots posing as people.

That’s arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.

But they’ll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.

“Our bad bots good, your good bots bad”. What a crazy world we live in.

Yeah my car is about 13 years old. Still has CD player. Will drive it until I die.

Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.

Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn’t sound too “techy”, not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

AllSides is a good one too

Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.

That level of feed curation will appeal more to the masses, yeah. Just no one has started an instance like that yet. Although you seem like the perfect person, based on your analysis and responses. 😉

Bluesky is closer to what you’re describing. The platform is more centralized and the feeds are more curated for the masses.
