Pointing out what sucks in a language isn't tribalism, calling people "bad developers" when they don't like your tool on the other hand, ...

Good developers don't get tribal about the tools they use

It makes them able to switch away from them for better ones

I use typescript now

Oh yeah even lifeprotips, if you go in the comments it's just full of people grasping at straws to find the tip useless and upvoting each other's cynicism

There was one: "If you want a fridge's compressor to turn on and off less frequently (ie: if you sleep in the same room), fill it with water bottles to increase thermal mass" and the top comments were "Actual life pro tio: get an apartment with 2 rooms???"

I was like: are these people actually that slow?

The less there is to say about an advice, the less reasons you have to go write a comment. Therefore the people in the comments are often outliers

Are you saying it’s japanese text

They didn't think about which order ternaries should compute in when they coded the php interpreter

I used php for 2 years and I hate on it it's not just people who've never used it

You know that programmers of other languages don't have to find excuses for their tool constantly, right?

They deprecated nested ternaries?

And probably wears a hat for a reason :(

Wow, we don't even have that in France yet

It's actually in french

Yea I would lick them

Back in 2012 i thought it'd be funny to make all my porn accounts the username of "Markus Persson" "notch"'s ex wife on twitter so if one day he stalks her he just ends up finding my schizo shit online

Hi notch

No and they started computing it differently at some point so it got a sudden jump from max 6 to 8k upvotes on the most popular posts to having 13ks in the front page frequently

But I took that into account, my account is 13 years old on there, when stuff barely ever went in the thousands it already made me switch from 9gag to reddit

When reddit had the same amount of content that lemmy has right now it was already its user's main timewaster

It's just a matter of time

There's also power in just existing and becoming an increasingly more viable alternative to reddit. Between disappointment in the mods and how centralized things are, racist stuff invading the front page, ads, admins, ... the less painful the transition becomes from one timesink to another the more the risk to Digg their own grave becomes threatening

The only thing I'm scared of is whether lemmy is capable of standing up to bad actors with its decentralized architecturr because if we imagined it becoming, say, half as popular as reddit; we'd start getting astroturfing campaigns and spam. And vote-manipulation is way easier here, and so is ban evasion

2000 upvotes on front page posts is what reddit had in ~2012, 2014 and by that point reddit was already one of my main time wasters

To them 200k users leaving is nothing and they aren't even all gone, most probably just use both now

But wait 4 years and lemmy might have become a painless viable alternative

Eh the activity is good enough

2000 upvotes on popular front page posts is like reddit in 2015
