Surprised it didn’t rewrite it’s own X with blackjack and concurrency
wait until you hear about this project called lemmy
Lemmy was written in Rust?
(Edit: damn, over 75% of the codebase is rust. Nice)
I’m actually surprised there aren’t already 20 alternatives to Twitter written in Rust

Rust is a programming language.
Rust is the stuff metal gets
The stuff Iron gets.
No. Rust is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
No, Rust is a multiplayer survival game
1v1 me in C++

You’re Basic

I wasn’t on X, but now I’ve created a mastodon account :)
You’ve managed to create a 2+years old account, congrats
Huh? I might be misunderstanding something (maybe a joke, even!), but this is my lemmy account, that’s kinda older indeed. How would that be connected to my mastodon account?
Eh. I mixed them. My bad.
The official Rust project account will no longer be active on Twitter
Thank me later alligator.
Twitter hasn’t existed for a while. Rust didn’t leave twitter, they left a corpse
It’s to clear possible confusion with X11.
I don’t understand why any business is active on any social media, especially ones run by billionaires.
Post your shit to a website.
Have it auto-mirror to a social media platform.
Funnel questions back to your own website.
Done.
I have been recently reminiscing with some friends about the internet back when instead of massive websites that held everything, there were small forums with specialized focus. You could get to know the people in the forums over time. It was so much better than the shit that exists today.
I would love to join forums made by these projects. I don’t care if I have to have a bunch of accounts. Individual forums and RSS feeds are awesome. Since moving to RSS I have drastically reduced my mindless scrolling.
Ah yes phpBB those were the days. Wait, no they weren’t. They sucked. Old forum software was one of the worst computing experiences I remember.
Want to download a custom Android ROM? Hope you like reading through this 120 page thread one page at a time. Oh and each message will be surrounded by a metric mile of profile pictures and signature.
RSS was pretty great though, I’ll give you that.
rss is still everywhere.
Have it auto-mirror to a social media platform.
That’s what it is most of the time. The thing is that native content just does a lot better than linked content. Think about how often someone will see a link and not click it. If they don’t have to click and you meet them on the website they’re already on, your content is consumed a lot more. I’m not just talking about so-called “content creators”, but also things like what the Rust account would post.
It’s pretty easy to automate posting content instead of just a link.
Marketers are lazy.
Consumers are lazy and are trained that anything not on an app is dangerous and scary.
As a privacy advocate, I have the opposite reaction: almost every app is dangerous and scary. If it doesn’t have a nice mobile web app, I’ll try to avoid it on my phone.

It’s funny how many people are against this. They sure do like to lick elon’s boots.
Holy crap. I don’t go on Twitsack any more but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised the remaining people are clowns.
Rust is… woke?!?

Those people wrote a “hello world” and gave up after having to do something using an ampsand (&)
Honestly I’m laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.
I’m happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.
But you cant call yourself the “town square of the internet” while hiding things from people you cant monetize.
Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).
Oh nyoooo, Rust is woke
- Lunduke (probably)
He crapped on Debian for this reason too. & for some reason people think he’s a journalist.
Also will Pleroma & Akkoma get any love & I also hope they create a Matrix room as well
I really liked his “Linux sucks” presentations when I watched them many years ago, but I didn’t know anything about him beyond that. Then some time last year I saw that he made another one, and I decided to watch it mainly for nostalgia, and I was shocked to see so many points about how linux companies are woke, something about opensuse firing anyone who was right-wing and redhat doing some white shaming move or something. I paused, checked his actual channel and holy shit. More than 90% was anti-woke “journalism”, and has been for years now. I was severely disappointed.
Niccolò, KDE developer, made a video about Bryan’s… everything. It’s revolting. People still bringing up his stuff must be either unaware and thus should be informed, or they’re complicit. Having talked to a few, I’ve noticed it’s usually the latter.
Just finished watching it, and honestly that’s the idea I got after those red flags that jumpscared me when I was watching that linux sucks video. I think I watched them up until 2018, and I remember finding them entertaining and they always ended on a postive note, but I knew absolutely nothing about Lunduke apart from those 4 or 5 videos, that’s why I was so shocked to find out that he’s a generic right wing parrot.
As a sidenote, Niccolò seems like a really cool guy. Thanks for sharing the video, I subbed
Glad you liked Nicco and found it informative. I think his takes are usually grounded, and his software development background helps. I certainly like him a lot better than most tech influencers, if he even counts as one.
Why are people using bluesky? Just use mastodon or something else federated. Stay are from centralized platforms
First off they are using Mastodon. And secondly Mastodon is still pretty half baked as a platform. If it was as far along as Lemmy is, which is ironic because I think Mastodon was developed first, then people would probably be using it more. I just don’t think anyone’s putting in the man hours to streamline it the way they have with Lemmy.
It does have federation, just a different model
Technically yes, practically no
Trump has now ordered NIST to reverse their recommendation on Rust.
Fuck you and have a nice day.
I knew what it was but clicked anyways.
Darn. Problem with the Fediverse is you don’t know how things will render on other people’s clients.
I still dont get why people use bluesky. I mean if you really want a pseudo federated social media, might as well use twitter and not migrate. Its ridiculous.
I assume people want something centralised like Twitter but without Musk. Most people don’t care about federation and don’t want the extra complexity and division it causes.
if you really want a pseudo federated social media
The vast majority of people don’t, they simply want something like what Twitter was before elon ruined it. If the Twitter exodus resulted in mass adoption of federated platforms, it’d be a happy coincidence.
Network effect. Its where everyone is.
Bluesky is excellent that’s why.
