It deserves it. That software works SO poorly right now. I went to edit a post I made and it crashed the app. Figuring that was a fluke, I tried again and it crashed the whole app every single time without fail.

Another time, I tried to post a video that was cropped to Loops and IT LOST MY ACCOUNT PERMANENTLY and won’t let me use that username anymore. Guess I don’t need a Loops account anymore? 🤷‍♂️. Tech support was nonexistent so I just wait until hopefully the dev gets his head out of his ass long enough to fix his buggy, shit software that makes the rest of the fediverse seem like dumbasses.

The best part: the sole dev of both of these apps doesn’t think he needs any help and refuses to open source them. The Kobe Bryant quintessential ball hog of software engineering.

This is to be expected. The same thing happened with Lemmy, several times. I had a bunch of signups on social.photo; however, the new people that signed up aren't very active. I think a lot of people were just trying it out and weren't impressed.

I threw up my own Pixelfed instance. It was awful. I'm much happier with GoToSocial.

Plus I'm yet to run into a single person I actually know IRL on the fedi.

Is that a normal metric for monolithic social media?

monolithic social media

I...don't know what that means?

Lemmy is optimal for chatting with random people. If I want to share personal things, I prefer to do that with people I actually know.

Monolithic as in Twitter, Reddit, Facebook - platforms that do not federate.
