It was useful for a time but it’s really only become another mechanism of division and otherism by society at this point.

Javascript is far from perfect, but it has always felt immensely more productive to me compared to alternatives.

Insisting on it not being that is ignoring reality.

Sort of feels like a massive fake-out by users: 1) Post-election usage of X falls off a cliff. 2) Bots/clout-chasers/spammers/etc. move to Threads (because that's where the users seem to be). 3) Everyone says "psyche!" and moves to BlueSky.21 Nov 2024 16:45 +0000at://did:plc:oe22oyyazfk46mudqlutsudw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbhvytqqys25https://bsky.app/profile/randomout.bsky.social/post/3lbhttcepts2eI'm kind of in the same boat. Probably should do some sort of reasonable assessment of my data storage requirements so I don't get myself into a "more bytes!" death spiral like I always do when I'm looking at this stuff...
