    start rant/

    Ah yes, dansup, aka the Fediverse superstar who cranks out such hits as “VAGUE FEATURE is Coming Soon”, and “The rarely updated official app for Pixelfed/Loops is going to get updated soon!”. Both of those are from the album" I insist on gatekeeping outside developers from contributing".

    I’ve interacted with him as a fellow developer of the same stack he uses, and I have always appreciated where his heart is at regarding the fedi. But, the track record of quality work suffers from chasing shiny objects, and absolute spaghetti code.

    Also, I’m going to be blunt in saying this; he apes existing ideas (insta, TikTok), gives them a quasi corpo social platform facade with the goal to be welcoming to the refugees who jump the fences.

    This SSO thing is the antithesis of decentralization and the spirit of digital sovereignty. Literally handing Google more user data for the sake of fedi adoption via SSO is mind boggling. How many people here left big tech because of the blatant surveillance state that’s been built?

    I keep trying to support his work, but I’m killing my Pixelfed and Loops accounts.

  • Fuck no. I dropped out of High School thanks to a bunch of racist Hawaiians and Samoans because I started standing up against their bullying midyear.

    Kids that look like they might be military brats got targetted quick. I wasn’t one of those kids, but I was just another “fucking haole”. School staff turned a blind eye to the harassment and intimidation. Shits a lost cause when the campus security is literally related or close with these kids families.

    Dropped out, got a GED, got a job, started a family, moved back stateside, never looked back. Aloha Oe, ya fuckers lol
