@mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Really, Allison's content is better.

I just like talking about the virtues of staring at arrays.

@mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Oh yeah the federation has poor search. @Allison is the person being referenced here.

@kick @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Eh? Better content? Can't even imagine tbh, considering how much of this account I feel is just low effort funposting (or screwing around)

@kick @allison @sneak @tedu @toast yeah, her content is pretty good too

(still can't believe she joined here from hn lol)

@mewmew @allison @sneak @tedu @toast To be fair, 'sneak is also a relatively prominent Hacker News user.

@kick @allison @sneak @tedu @toast fedi is to twitter as hackernews is to reddit

@mewmew @kick @sneak @tedu @toast With some weird 4chan cross pollination for good measure

@mewmew @allison @sneak @tedu @toast Hacker News is actually good though.

@kick @allison @sneak @tedu @toast so is fedi

@kick @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Reddit is literally fine as long as you avoid r/all (defaults) and stick to the smaller subs.

@allison @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Oh also lol the implication was that the federation sucked, nothing to do with reddit.

@mewmew @allison @sneak @tedu @toast Bait aside:

HN was by the guy with the idea for reddit, after the people who worked on reddit fucked up reddit. He later rage-quit his own site, too, after finding out that internet commentary will never actually be well-kept if open access is allowed.

@allison @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast The federation is like, what laarc is to Hacker News.

@kick @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast laarc?

@allison @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast HN separatist community from a guy who went postal on HN moderation.

@kick @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Explains why I never heard of it then.

@allison @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast It actually has some interesting features (I think it's just a fork of the arc News codebase) and in a lot of ways is quite nice, technically. I haven't really played around with it much, granted.

@allison @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast So in that way, laarc is not at all like what AP is to twitter.

@kick @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Just took a look at their front page, goodness me is it slow. The whole rms kerfuffle is still headline news, and I'd easily estimate that lobsters gets more submissions in a week than that site has in it's lifetime (not that this is an endorsement of lobsters mind you)

@allison @mewmew @sneak @tedu @toast Oh definitely very slow. Surprisingly, though, some of the people on the HN leaderboard post semi-frequently, seemingly.

@kick @allison @mewmew @tedu @toast am i? i use it every day but don’t think of myself as prominent.

@sneak @allison @mewmew @tedu @toast It might just be that I use it too much (I do, I do), but I see your name pretty frequently in the threads I like, at least.

@mewmew @kick @tedu @sneak @toast if you like seeing a complete amateur designer fail at making "cool website" im open
