    On one hand, it’s a great sigh of relief to not see so many communities contaminated with shallow interactions that are harbored by typical Redditquette behavior.

    The other hand, it’s depressing to see so much wasted potential. I mean, there was supposed to have been a big revolution, wasn’t there? The fediverse did gain a large chunk of users. But, most of the time, it was treated like a temporary vacation resort or some airbnb to most users that are “so tired” of reddit. No, they were only tired of reddit because it was both the cool thing to do and it was for a short period.

    But they can’t escape the crack, they know it is addicting. The karma farming. The alt-account abuse. The drama. No, they want it all back and can’t fathom a part of social media where none of that is existent, save for a bare minimum. Hell, millions of people still somehow use Twitter today even though Musk has done a wonderous job taking a daily dump on it.

    People really are afraid of change.

    I feel a lot more contributory towards other platforms not Reddit. On Reddit, I just feel like I just say things until I hit walls. Those walls being, being confronted by shithead mods, dumbass trolls or feeling claustrophobic from where I can post because of the karma.



  • Especially if one of them is based off the other.

    Rust is based off of C/C++
    Ruby is based off of Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, Ada, BASIC, Java, and Lisp

    Just a couple of examples. Quite frankly, it’s dependent on what system, what infrastructure .etc that’ll be the call for a specific programming language. Nothing wrong with just picking one or two and sticking to them.

    And I think that’s what a lot of beginners in wanting to study programming languages can fall into, they want to be the jack of all trades in programming. But there’s this problem of a new language coming in all of the time and it can get very wiry trying to remember them all.
