This reminded me that I wanted to look into open source alternatives to Bionic Reader…

Marxists in authoritarian left

Which Marxists are you referring to? You’ll find a lot (likely the majority) of socialists and communists in the bottom left corner. Put a picture of Stalin up there and rewrite it as either “Tankies” or “Stalinists” and you’ll be much more accurate.

Do you happen to have a Matrix or Discord server set up to talk about development? I’d love to help out if I can.

Went to check out the source code for the front-end and see if there was anything I could help out with… Saw it was made with Angular.

oh no

(Congrats on integrating Fedi into it!)

Thanks for the in-depth response! I definitely understand choosing Python for a fledgling project like this and trying to attract a developer community.

As for my musing about C and Python, I wasn’t really talking about Cython or anything like that; I actually meant that I figured the specific code in the Python standard library and various frameworks for server applications were written under the hood with C and heavily optimized.

Always happy to see a new Fediverse service!

My only concern is Python. Wonderful for AI and scripting, but I’m not sure how well it works as a web server. Although, I’d assume that a lot of the web server code is actually C under the hood…

Interesting idea. Personally, I would like to see larger groups of admins and server members working together towards common goals and setting common standards - what we have right now is more like a confederacy, not a federation. There is no unifying, governing body made up of representatives from the servers.

It’s my (fairly uneducated) observation and understanding that liberalism is often significantly more aligned with conservatism than socialism, for example. It’s ultimately under the umbrella of ideologies that support and prop up capitalism.
