Twitter is like GitHub, but built on a super annoying proprietary tech stack that means I can't just take my repository and go somewhere else if they make a colossal mistake.
So it ends up corrupted and hijacked.
But Mastodon w/o a GitHub-like ecosystem foundation will end up like `git` did before IMO:
Fragmented, confusing, w/o power or reach.
Social movements that relied on power & reach won't work there. Tehy won't be effective, and just result in like-minded communities echoing...
First try at articulating my dissatisfaction w/ Mastodon:
Mastodon & the whole ActivityPub / fediverse system feels like `git`, or more generally DVCS (this isn't about `git` specifically).
This is good & necessary.
But it needs an *ecosystem* to be great.
It needs a GitHub.
This is what Twitter actually provides to me.
Really annoyed at seeing 10%+ performance swings based on using `const T&` vs. `T`...
Seemingly not because of anything I'd expect (avoiding a load). No no...
Because using the reference requires preserving 2x the number of callee saved regs.
:sigh:
I really want the #CarbonLang input argument feature...
Thinking about servers a bit...
mastodon.social seems like a solid default, and funding it helps fund overall development on mastodon. But it's a bit overloaded it seems...
But I hardly even know what options there are, much less which would be best...
Hey you:
When you next get a "congrats!", a "hey, that was awesome!", or a "wow, that looked super hard, great job!"
Say thanks, but don't add "oh, it wasn't too bad" or "nah, it was fine" or "NBD".
Take the W.
You deserve a win.
Enjoy it. And enjoy folks recognizing it.
:tap tap tap: This thing on? =D
Actual question: any good tools folks have found to easily post to both Mastodon and Twitter?
For most stuff, I'd like to reach both communities. But happy to use the two apps for interactions / following.
