Joseph-Stalin

You can still buy Soviet Union TLDs (.su). Does this mean .su owners will lose their domains in 5-10 years? Seems like there should be some kind of grandfathering clause.

The use of the term "instance" to describe a deployed instance of software predates federated software like mastodon.

I don't understand this article, it presumes tailwind as a sane default without really justifying it. It kind of comes across as someone who's trying to justify a bad decision and they know the the facts are not on their side.

This is despite the fact I also think tailwind is the right choice, and I'll be living my life as if tailwind is the modern replacement for bootstrap.

Tailwind has large (200kb) JS payloads

My tailwind deployment is 7kb css (before gzip+min) and 0kb js (0 files).

But that aside, there are known studies that statistically speaking, users leave if your page is slower.

Senior leaders care about cost, not artistry, when assessing technical decisions

so we'll continue using the thing that existed before tailwind, then? I think my CEO would get mad and fire me if I rewrote all my bootstrap stuff into tailwind.

I would really like to read articles that give strong arguments in favor of using tailwind.

It's also so vague, it's useless. There's "tonnes of <literally any type of person>" on Twitter. No presented evidence/claims that the number of them (relative to anyone else you don't like/don't agree with) is causing an issue, or that Twitter has a structural problem that raises the voices of tankies.

discord and twitter, everything is just a messy ocean of piss imo, discord is not an iteration on reddit, maybe some people prefer discord to reddit but it is far from a replacement. It's a big JS-heavy chatroom (almost like new reddit...).

are you running the literal reddit codebase or a clone codebase, and if so, is it open source?

Lemmy is written in rust, so that is surprising, but it also a react SPA so feels heavy to me when I tried it.

Eh, this is a little too authoritarian for me.
