Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn’t sound too “techy”, not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

Ok you’ve peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It’s almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

Don’t think this opinion is unpopular at all. It makes sense for platforms that are similar to interop.

Hypothetically like Youtube interop with Peertube (video platforms) or Instagram interop with Pixelfed (photos). Or Threads, Reddit and Lemmy (forums). And Mastodon and Twitter (sorry, but just making a point here 😁)

But yeah, see no reason for interop between platforms with completely different purposes.

That level of feed curation will appeal more to the masses, yeah. Just no one has started an instance like that yet. Although you seem like the perfect person, based on your analysis and responses. 😉

Bluesky is closer to what you’re describing. The platform is more centralized and the feeds are more curated for the masses.

Very true. But that’s what we can create whole instances for: to be the site you think will attract the users you want. With curated feeds, less pervy content, whatever.

There’s nothing stopping anyone from starting a whole new world they want to see in the fediverse. Lemmy and other fedi apps are built like this for that very purpose.

A centralized frontend and a decentralized backend seems great in theory, but I’m not quite sure that’s even possible without some one or some group owning the centralized frontend. And if one single entity controls the frontend, it defeats the purpose of decentralization. We want to avoid any one person or group owning the flow of our communication.

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

By community, do you mean just this particular Lemmy community or the community on Lemmy collectively? If the latter, there are other alternative Lemmy communities on other instances that may be better suited for you.

Just would hate to see someone leave Lemmy over toxic energy in one place. There’s a big world here in fediverse!

AKA “Trump roast” 😄

It does sound like lists may be a little overused but it would be hard to say without specific examples.

Using lists in the nav situation seems reasonable. But if he’s advocating that everything on a web page should be a list, that’s a bit extreme.

Probably just for aesthetic to tease you. Then doesnt work when you click it. So business as usual, I guess… 🥲

We’re all always dissatisfied with something

I don’t think this is an anti-React post, like the other commenters are implying.

This issue would occur when attempting to search any webpage with the web browser’s builtin search feature before the content has a chance to load in. This happens if the page requires JavaScript to load, which is the case with React apps.

I dont want any parts of Threads. But if they’re gonna federate, at least do it 100%. This half-ass, piecemeal approach where they release an itty bitty teeny weeny change every month is weird.

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

The clients are called “RSS readers”. Most blog sites have RSS feeds you can add to it. And there are services that can easily generate RSS feeds for websites that don’t already have them.

I never really understood how cross posting works here. You mind telling us the benefits? Does it consolidate all of the discussions in each cross post into one big long thread? 🤔

Does anyone know how this could affect Brave? I’ve suggested it for non-tech Google Chrome refugees who find Firefox difficult to use.
