Twitter hasn’t existed for a while. Rust didn’t leave twitter, they left a corpse

I used (for a short time) to maintain a usage of Twitter instead of X, to participate on pissing of Musk along with the crowd, but to me it makes no sense anymore, X is indeed not what Twitter was years ago. It's not a name rebranding anymore, we all here know that. And IMO, Rust would not have left Twitter, like I wouldn't have. We left X, with everything that new name carries with.

wait until you hear about this project called lemmy

I'm actually surprised there aren't already 20 alternatives to Twitter written in Rust

Rust is... woke?!?

It's funny how many people care one way or another. It's a programming language, and if I want updates, I'll check their changelog. They have incredibly consistent releases, so why would I need a notification on SM when they release again on that schedule?

I don't get it. Post or don't, I don't care, just write good code.

Holy crap. I don't go on Twitsack any more but I guess I shouldn't be surprised the remaining people are clowns.

Those people wrote a "hello world" and gave up after having to do something using an ampsand (&)

Honestly I'm laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.

I have been recently reminiscing with some friends about the internet back when instead of massive websites that held everything, there were small forums with specialized focus. You could get to know the people in the forums over time. It was so much better than the shit that exists today.

I would love to join forums made by these projects. I don’t care if I have to have a bunch of accounts. Individual forums and RSS feeds are awesome. Since moving to RSS I have drastically reduced my mindless scrolling.

Marketers are lazy.

Have it auto-mirror to a social media platform.

That's what it is most of the time. The thing is that native content just does a lot better than linked content. Think about how often someone will see a link and not click it. If they don't have to click and you meet them on the website they're already on, your content is consumed a lot more. I'm not just talking about so-called "content creators", but also things like what the Rust account would post.

I really liked his "Linux sucks" presentations when I watched them many years ago, but I didn't know anything about him beyond that. Then some time last year I saw that he made another one, and I decided to watch it mainly for nostalgia, and I was shocked to see so many points about how linux companies are woke, something about opensuse firing anyone who was right-wing and redhat doing some white shaming move or something. I paused, checked his actual channel and holy shit. More than 90% was anti-woke "journalism", and has been for years now. I was severely disappointed.

Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).

Good news, it was mostly private for profit entities doing the censorship

Fuck you and have a nice day.

@secret300 @neme They want old Twitter back, not federation.
