we still punk ๐ค๐๐ค
fucking gulag.
if you have to assert that you are still punk, you are not still punk
Nothing says punk like politely asking for a user feedback survey and using the phrase โchanges in our core services.โ
And emojis
to help offer our users more diverse options for expressing themselves online.
If you want the REAL feelings of individuals, they need to feel safe to express themselves.
As long as we donโt think youโre a Putinist shill or CCP bot for having an opinion that is to the left of us.
we still punk ๐ค๐๐ค
Real energy.
Everyone is telling them how silly is to make a site from zero just because you dont like the opinions of the devs and how java sucks compared to rust.
Its going to be funny the seeing the drama when sublinks drops and they realised no one wants to jump ship to it
Canโt wait to watch the most irritating turboliberals on the fediverse retreat from Lemmy and make their own little platform, before tearing each other apart.
The funniest thing the devs can do is simply not make a mechanic to port over an instance to another platform so they have to rebuild from scratch.
Recent and future history of .worldโฆ
Mid 2023: We love reddit, but it was a mistake to use a centralized platform. Lemmy is FOSS and decentralized, so it will be more resistant to the problems we had on Reddit.
Mid-Late 2023: We canโt stand all the tankies, letโs defederate so we canโt see them! Nevermind that this will make us more centralized, itโs more important to quash voices of dissent.
2024: We canโt stand that tankies made our platform and wonโt let us turn it into Reddit. Weโre going to make our very own Reddit!
2025: Running a site is expensive. We need to find some revenue sources and will be testing the use of ads to fund our site. You can always opt out of ads by signing up for a subscription.
2026: Finance capital, hell yeah!
Later: Our platform fell apart again just like Reddit, how could we have seen this coming??
Ok I have no real opinion on Rust, but I hate Java. Who willingly chooses it at this point? What does it do that C# (or literally anything else, I assume Rust is ok, Iโm just a boomer) doesnโt? Its so bad, one of my professors did a โI made this program in each languageโ test and had to make a graph without Java because literally every other language looked the same otherwise.
No this isnโt me being salty 5 years after Java refused to handle a basic object for a college project and brought my grade for a class down a whole letter. Haha
Itโs used everywhere in business so youโre basically guaranteed to find a job if youโre good with it, and vice versa, the hiring pool is big if youโre a corporation. Itโs got a robust standard library. In the last few years itโs picked up more and more useful features like lambdas and dynamic typing to cut down on boilerplate. Itโll run on basically anything and you, the developer, donโt need to worry about compiling to specific target platforms. Itโs also avoided a lot of the design-by-committee garbage thatโs turned C++ into a Venn diagram of feature incompatibility.
That said, package management in java kind of sucks. Thereโs still plenty of boilerplate. The language is highly dependent on meta-programming annotations in many cases that hide code from you and obscure details. Exceptions are stupid and expensive.
apparently they are using a script to automatically migrate all the communities and users
Nothing says punk rock like a whole ass site that spends every moment of existence trying to dunk on leftists.
Edit: So is Sublinks just a fork project of Lemmy? The dev has all the Lemmy stuff forked in his personal github and lol. I ask again, if you wanna make an echo chamber on Lemmy, why not just defed from everyone, yes itโs dumb but it saves you the headache of spending 5 days trying to fix shit from a poorly executed migration.
Probably to prevent cherry picking since what they actually want to do is isolate their audience for profit, and so a rewrite in a new language means their implementation of the api will inevitably drift and become incompatible.
Then, as the biggest instance they will seek to push other sites to conform to their API and standards instead of lemmy, meaning they will take control of the lemmy pocket of the fediverse.
Anyone who stays on .world is a shitlib who wants a new facebook.
