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.
