@carsten I used to promise myself all the time:
> I should write more
And:
> I'll make more time to write more blog posts
But I often never do, I'm time poor.
I post and share because that's part of human nature. Not because I seek fame or fortune, hell Yarn.social hasn't made a single cent in it's entire history and it likely never will π
I'd like to think you folks (at least the ones here and across all other pods and feeds alike) feel the same π

@usr Yeah. I just think none of this dopamine-driven, abusive toxic shit should be a feature in the first place π

@carsten Not "all" social platforms. That's (I guess?) why some have joked that Yarn.social is the non-social social media π If you read his points carefully you'll see that the author has pretty much the same views as I do. If you turn "social media" into this dopamine drive cesspool full of likes, boosts, reshares and so forth, you basically end up abusing the worst parts of humanity.

> But itβs still just a Twitter clone, and many of the social and psychological ills which come with that are present in the Fediverse. Itβs a feed of other peopleβs random thoughts, often unfiltered, presented to you without value judgement β even when a value judgement may be wise. Features like boosting and liking posts, chasing after follower counts and mini-influencers, these rig up dopamine reinforcement like any other social network does

Ahh! This is why I have a NAS running a WebDAV server that I use PhotoSync on all our family devices (wife's included). Whenever we come back from anywhere and have a lot of photos to sync, it's well mostly pretty damn quick on a local multi-Gbps network π€£

@lyse I kind of have a "selfish" reason for wanting to team up with you on this venture π

Hope you don't mind π If you think starting from scratch is a good idea, no worries π So we'll write it all in Go right? π€ IndieAuth? REST API? Some kind of UI?

@ullarah is right, it's optional. However the following features will not work:
- Password resets (via Email) -- A Poderator can still manually reset a user's password.
- Support and Report do not work (because those go to the Poderator via Email)
Otherwise, you'll be fine π

Tell me... Are you able to repair actual damage to the body at all? π€
Also I should have you over sometime (how about next weekend) for beers/snacks.

This is actually one of the worst aspects of this so-called bullshit modern UX design you see everywhere. This is one of the worst possible ways you can hurt accessibility for the vision impaired and blind like myself and many hundreds of millions of others in the world.
