People like to make fun of RIIR and Rust nerds preaching about why all software should be written in Rust, but ActivityPub evangelists are much worse

I can forgive Rust people who just aren't aware of how costly it would take to rewrite some big project into their language. But people who clearly haven't bothered to check that the software they're evangelizing on is centralized intentionally by design deserve to be mocked forever

oh hey, that's the weird nerd who made a zero effort 'activitypub support pls' issue on the postmill issue tracker, then thumbs upped the tone policing comments when i raised the plagiarism issue on the kbin issue tracker

open source is when you bark at other people so they make the things you want

This is the kind of thing that would make me close the issue tracker and open up a mailing list with the gnarliest designed for netscape 2.0 web interface imaginable

it seems like open source software is mostly a hassle but the upside is that whenever someone comes to you with a feature request you can say "if its so important do it yourself mother fucker"

This is to me just like teens who don't understand that Archive of Our Own is, in fact, an archive and not a social media site so it will never have an algorithmic feed.

Mastodon users would also be horrified to see their replies getting heavily downvoted in danbooru. Danbooru is ruthless and brutal when it comes to silly comments :P

I'm not even joking about the comments getting downvoted, I just said "maricup" in a post of glasses Mima holding a cup with Marisa's face on it and I got -3 points as of writing https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/493392#comment_2347374
