Exactly :) That’s what I mean as well, sure there are great things written in rust, but they are great because they are great, not because they are written in rust :)

I’m very much aware of that, I have programmed stuff in rust as well, but claiming that it’s secure and “better” because it’s rust is just pr, believe me, I can write some really sihtty rust code.

I’m no evangelist for PHP, but I say use the tool that you know, when I make a new program I’m going to do it in nim, because it’s the langauge that I have the most fun working with. It has mostly the same pros as rust, just with a lot nicer syntax and it’s generally more flexible.

No shade on people liking rust, but this constant parroting of the same point by people who probably never even used the langauge is getting kind of old.

Well if you look at their app talent would be stretching it…

“We absolutely must ship what we said we would” Yeah right, everything else they have promised never led to anything, but this, this we have to push through :p

Well that being said I think for many of us being connected to and associated with people that spread obvious lies does not feel great. Like genocide denial, and general tankie-isms, for me personally at least someone that denies that fascist governments like Russia and China is something that is bad for us all, and especially for the Russian and Chinese people feels awfully close to hate speech to me at least. And I’m someone pretty much on the left fringe, I have no problem with communists, the problems are when they tip over into supporting Authocratic or Fascistic governments. And we’re already being connected to it by many people off site as long as we don’t defederate.

Just figured out the developer behind the jerboa application also is a genocide denier, it feels kind of really bad, I don’t know it makes me feel really conflicted.

I nuked all my posts and comments as well.

Well, that kind of sounds like the normal rust propaganda, don’t get me wrong, I do think the language is decent, it’s just tiring to see so many people just buying into and parroting some weird claims like “it’s rust, so it’s secure”

Also they don’t have the language skills, I’d be serously impressed if they managed to scrunge up employees with the language and culture skills for many subs.

yeah, and multilingual on top of that, there are content in so many languages on reddit.

You mean so that we all can avoid it :)

I’ll miss sync a lot too, it is such a great application.

Great to hear, I’m really enjoying it, just a very wholesome game :)

Yeah that’s what I thought, that they are scraping like NewPipe is, that usually breaks a couple of times a year when google is messing around with the page, but the developers are usually really quick and fixes it in a day or two so that it works again.

A lot of the the moderators and administrations are tankies, so basically left leaning authocrats, they do ban people and delete posts that talk about the genocide of uyghyr people in china for example, or talking against the russian invasion in Ukraine. I have seen both administrators and moderators over there say very dubious things that makes me feel really uncomfortable.

That is very reassuring to hear, I was just reading a thread about moderations and saw some very concerning posts from admins and moderators over at lemmy.ml so I was starting to worry that the same might have been the case here, I think they do themselves a disservice, as the people that really suffer from the Russian/Chinese governments are the russian and chinese people.

I am really enjoying apico at the moment, a really cute wholesome game about breeding bees and butterflies, helping to save the species, it’s based on the old forestry mod for minecraft which used to be one of my favourites as well.

While I agree with you it will be sad to see some of the small communities I’m a part of die, maybe some of them will rescurrect, but I have my doubts on some of them, very niche stuff where it’s hard to gather together people.

Yeah, when old.reddit goes my reddit time is gone, without old and RES it’s unusable, and I just will have to deal with not really being able to spend time on subreddits that I really enjoy, it’s just really sad since there aren’t really good communities for it anywhere else, at least yet. I hope there will be some time.

I’ve used sync for close to a decade, it is reddit on mobile for me, and now it will disappear, most likely I just won’t log into reddit off my pc anymore.
