Wow, had no idea this was a thing. I’m gonna check these out. Man I’m so entering next year.

Theres a reason nobody uses it anymore. Google extended the crap out of it, effectively took over the protocol and then retired it. It bears the same echoes of what’s happening here.

I’d be closer to agreeing with you if XMPP didn’t completely invalidate your point. They did it there and they’ll do it here.

Is threads still even active? The few users I knew on it don’t use it anymore.

They allowed for the inclusion of DRM into HTML5. This DRM is not open-source, can’t even be source audited and refused to back down. Such a move caused the EFF (electronic frontier foundation) to resign from the group. Here’s the EFF’s letter where they outline these issues if you want to give it a read: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/open-letter-w3c-director-ceo-team-and-membership

I could also write about them bowing to Google but the DRM thing annoys me more.

And then Tim Berners-Lee has the audacity to complain about the state of the internet. Something his group could’ve actually stopped or slowed.

Oh so I have absolutely no reason to even like w3c at all? Dont use w3cschools much anymore these days. I know they have other stuff for more languages but theres better resources when it comes to those.

Oh yeah. Forgot that exists. Their image-border generator was far better than the w3c equivalent.

Yeah screw the w3c. Only use they got these days is for html tutorials.

Well Ladder is written in Go. 13ft is written in Python.

Considering they’re both linked to the fediverse you arent missing anything if youre browsing on Lemmy or Kbin. Biggest difference is the interface.

Your lemmy site might have some ones blocked that kbin don’t but thats the only difference.

I’ve seen very little. Theyre mostly congregated on hexbear and keep to themselves unless summoned.
