You keep repeating that I said “the code is bad”. That’s not what I said. I said it’s slop-coded, which says the code is bad, and is also an explanation of why. It’s like saying “it’s a poop sandwich”. I don’t have to explicitly say that it’s bad, or explain why, that information is obvious from the title. It’s poop.

I’ve pointed out the actual problem several times now. You’re advertising a slop-coded project without disclosure.

The problem is it is slop-coded. Everyone deserves to know that.

Yet another slop code project

Instagram today is a bloated, algorithmic mess that doesn’t know what it wants to be

It knows what it wants to be. It just doesn’t care what you want it to be. Its’ main goal at this point is to exploit the massive userbase to push more and new shit. Trying to start a new platform for it would undoubtedly be unsuccessful. Just look at Threads. Frankly I’m shocked they didn’t just shove microblogs into IG as well. You see the same thing with every successful platform with sufficient userbase, they just abandon their identity in favor of shoving new and more shit down your throat until it becomes said bloated mess and the experience in general is awful, but they know you won’t leave because there’s no viable alternative that isn’t also doing the same thing.

They did, several times. Reels were only added to IG because Meta wanted to exploit its’ success to push it on their massive userbase to compete with TikTok. Creating a separate platform for it would have made far more sense in a user-focused world.

On the roadmap as well:

Fluxer will add end-to-end encryption to personal notes, DMs and group DMs. It will be required, with no setting to turn it off. We’re building it on MLS (Messaging Layer Security), an IETF Standards Track protocol published as RFC 9420 in July 2023.

Communities, the large public spaces with moderation and search, are not part of this plan.

polyproto, the family of specifications behind our federation plans in #4, includes polyproto-mls… We will most likely build our encryption in line with it and help finish it.

The timeline is the same as for federation. An experimental draft that you can try arrives in 2026, and the stable release follows in 2027.

They both have existed for a very long time, and yet people flock to Discord by the millions. Why do you suppose that is?

https://colibri.social/ is a very similar project that uses ATProto

It’s not a new standard. They didn’t invent it. Different protocols often work better for different usecases.

I run Ghost along with a dozen other services on a N100 Mini PC without issue. All files are stored as .md. And you can disable monetization, as I have.

My only gripe is that they implemented email authentication, which honestly infuriates me maybe more than it should.

And also their half-assed implementation of ActivityPub.

But can you be more specific about what you don’t like so that we can recommend a suitable alternative? Are you just looking for something as lightweight as humanly possible?

entirely within LAN

Wat? LOL

Been using this one for a while.

Could mean a lot of things. Ideally there would be an account somehow connected and comments would be mirrored. Could have a link to sign into a guest’s account, like the many Mastodon frontends, and use that to comment.

No Fediverse integration?

Yeah Google does the same. When you Takeout your photos they split the images and metadata into separate files. Bunch dicks.
