    Ye I know, it’s fucking bizarre. Every 6 months, a new reddit alternative comes up which doesn’t have apub and expects to get user by sheer charm or smt.

    Well put. It’s a bit disheartening, because people put time and energy in those projects, that could be used to develop the existing open source platforms…

      Software devs and their “I can build this better from scratch in one weekend” mentality, mate…

        Maybe its old age and laziness, but at least 99 times out of 100 I think “someone else built this better from scratch in a weekend, I should check some git repos first”.

        If I find nothing, start a project, get it functional, and then randomly run across exactly what I’m looking for (or close enough with minor updates I can send upstream).
