I disagree. The fundamentals of the web specs are more important than ever, and many projects don't even need a frontend framework.

There are certainly tech nerds, but there's plenty of other stuff out there, particularly art and other cultural sharing. What sort of topics are you into? Mastodon greatly benefits from following hashtags, so maybe folks can recommend ones to follow for you. Also, if you happened to join an instance with only a few users, it may be missing a lot of relayed content from various other instances which can provide the appearance of boring/missing content.
This episode knocked it out of the park. In a season that's been a wee bit hit and miss IMHO (compared to S1), seeing such depth and pathos in a story which could have been handled in a heavy-handed way otherwise, well it's very satisfying.
I don't think I've ever screamed so loud at my TV before. I was loosing my shit at this moment. I was stunned. What a high. Possibly one of the best memories of fandom I have in my life now.
Hearing Picard simply snarl Q! in that grumpy Patrick Stewart manner is the greatest.
As others have mentioned, between Mastodon's hashtag following and now Threadiverse communities, that's all I need to feel plugged into various topics I care about. I'm not sure what more a feed algorithm could do for me.
I love the character of Quark, but let's be honest. Guinan is the better bartender, if you're just a regular Starfleet officer looking to down a pint of syntheholic ale.
Only "mildly" infuriating??
Wow, that story really is bonkers. Gotta admire the chutzpah I guess.
Weird that they'd bother to take the time to use an accent for "Café" but then misspell Coffee! 😅
I would generally agree with you. Bring blogging back, baby! But the question of discovery is still open. I'm optimistic about the threadiverse over the long haul in this regard, but there's a lot of work we'll need to do to get there. Also blogging feels daunting to the less technically-inclined still. I'm not sure the traditional blog platforms out there (Wordpress.com, etc.) are quite up to the task…they typically end up catering to more of the power-user business site use cases.

Also just throwing this out there: I run a Discord called The Spicy Web that really is about learning and building stuff with the fundamentals, even for old-timers like myself (but all the more for newbies! So much advice out there is about pulling in tons of opinionated tools and dependencies, even when you don't need them…). At any point if you want to bounce ideas or questions off folks in real-time, check it out!
