The design is still horrendous. I was hoping for a total do over.
Trouble completely avoiding it? Yes. I exclusively treat it as a search engine / knowledge resource now though, which I think is reasonable since it’s a part of the Internet.
However, I contribute absolutely nothing to it and am now always signed out. Over time this would lead to it becoming an archive while decentralized platforms become the real meeting ground where new knowledge is accumulated. It’s a long-term play. There’s so much information on Reddit that it would be foolish to completely write it off - this is going to take a really long time, but anyone here knows that.
It took years to build Reddit to its glory and it will take years here - at least there are some awesome apps already and it feels like there is a good head start this time. We should not call out people for using Reddit for information, but we should encourage people to contribute to a more sustainable, community run alternative.
If the prosecution can’t nail him due to lack of evidence or technicality, it will exonerate him completely in public eyes.
Prosecution is under high pressure to deliver here.
I have to warn that is is going to be harsh. Relay was my favorite app and I used it everyday for years. DBrady has sold out here in my mind by sucking up to Reddit - The authors of the other apps deliberately chose not to charge users a subscription and it has put us on a better path long term by taking influence away from Reddit and centralized social media. If Relay won’t flip to Lemmy or decentralized alternatives then I hope it fails.
The pushback is justified I think - compile from source should be the default always for Rust since it works well (even if slower than desired sometimes).
Pre-compiled is kind of nice for scripting languages since the complexity of native dependencies is usually not wanted by those developers. In Node, I prefer pre-compiled as the default. Here, I do not.
Honestly just seems like a tee up so the government can "persuade" these people to kill themselves. It's a bold strategy, Cotton.
Could be a dry run for when life gets so bad in the next few years that people just look for the exit.
