Why is that so much Open Source software and for example, social media platforms, happen to be such ugly fucking pieces of shit, that are very slow, complicated to use, have massive flaws in say accounts being attached to detached "servers" that mean you can't use the same account across boards or if you can if your initial instance ends your account gets deleted etc.Mastadon, Lemmy, Peertube etc.Aren't these trying to be alternatives to big social media sites that have largely fucked up their sites with bloat and shitty moderation? Yet you can feel the autismo programmer socks behind all the programming, and any time you read people making UX recommendations to make the communities, actually fucking usable to non-the creators and fanboys all have meltdowns from all the Hyperbola tier ass users.
Idk, lemmy works fine for me. I was a matrix user for a while but i found out its insecure trashMastodon works fine too. So does bsky and peertubeId you don't like it don't use it. It doesn't have to be a profound philosophical discussion
>accounts being attached to detached "servers" that mean you can't use the same account across boards or if you can if your initial instance ends your account gets deletedThis is a feature, not a bug.Never use the same name in two different places.
>>107663044It's fine to do this based on threat model of courseIts best when you have a very generic username, or make your username something that search would resolve to a generic thingI.e, "android-debug" as username or similar. Just a random thing that exists

>>107663024mastodon is good, but JS only frontend sucks balls. i'm aware there are others but it's a pain to work with as I don't use mastodon frequently and am not setting anything up let alone installing anything.reddit is designed around the concept of censorship and filtering 'undesirable members' from communicating, lemmy is a wannabe reddit clone but is harder to censor or moderate, which means reddishits will never use it and instead they will stick with their convenience big platforms with strong censorship tools.any competitor to youtube will lose unless you can seamlessly upload content from YT to that platform, which requires playing dirty with gorilla tactics and not giving a fuck about the law, which means it's not gonna happen, and this is only 1% of the battle.
