I don't know what Rust is but glad to see anyone leave X or Facebook. There is a swimming pool at the local military base where my son wants a job as a lifeguard, but to find out when they are hiring, you have to go to their Facebook page. A government entity that requires you to sign into Facebook to see what they offer and when they are hiring.
Rust is a programming language.
Rust is the stuff metal gets
No. Rust is a multiplayer map featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
No, Rust is a multiplayer survival game

I wasn't on X, but now I've created a mastodon account :)
You've managed to create a 2+years old account, congrats
Huh? I might be misunderstanding something (maybe a joke, even!), but this is my lemmy account, that's kinda older indeed. How would that be connected to my mastodon account?
Eh. I mixed them. My bad.
I'm happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.
But you cant call yourself the "town square of the internet" while hiding things from people you cant monetize.
Yep. Twitter and Discord are the two most annoying walled gardens I can think of when it comes to projects (like FOSS dev).
Good news, it was mostly private for profit entities doing the censorship
That's crazy.
Surprised it didn't rewrite it's own X with blackjack and concurrency
wait until you hear about this project called lemmy
Lemmy was written in Rust?
(Edit: damn, over 75% of the codebase is rust. Nice)

It's funny how many people are against this. They sure do like to lick elon's boots.
Honestly I'm laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.
Those people wrote a "hello world" and gave up after having to do something using an ampsand (&)
It's funny how many people care one way or another. It's a programming language, and if I want updates, I'll check their changelog. They have incredibly consistent releases, so why would I need a notification on SM when they release again on that schedule?
I don't get it. Post or don't, I don't care, just write good code.
Holy crap. I don't go on Twitsack any more but I guess I shouldn't be surprised the remaining people are clowns.

I don't understand why any business is active on any social media, especially ones run by billionaires.
Post your shit to a website.
Have it auto-mirror to a social media platform.
Funnel questions back to your own website.
Done.
I have been recently reminiscing with some friends about the internet back when instead of massive websites that held everything, there were small forums with specialized focus. You could get to know the people in the forums over time. It was so much better than the shit that exists today.
I would love to join forums made by these projects. I don’t care if I have to have a bunch of accounts. Individual forums and RSS feeds are awesome. Since moving to RSS I have drastically reduced my mindless scrolling.
Ah yes phpBB those were the days. Wait, no they weren't. They sucked. Old forum software was one of the worst computing experiences I remember.
Want to download a custom Android ROM? Hope you like reading through this 120 page thread one page at a time. Oh and each message will be surrounded by a metric mile of profile pictures and signature.
RSS was pretty great though, I'll give you that.
rss is still everywhere.
Flat forums weren't just for downloading Android ROMs. Forums were meant for linear one-to-one discussion. All the eye bleed can be disabled anyways. I haven't looked at avatars or signatures in decades.
Besides has there been a better solution? People were still using XDA forums last I checked. Which has been several years so I don't know. XDA evolved around dedicated individuals who kept a top post updated with relevant info. So the problem was kind of solved after a while.
Forums and irc channels is a much better combo than twitter and discord.
Marketers are lazy.
Consumers are lazy and are trained that anything not on an app is dangerous and scary.
As a privacy advocate, I have the opposite reaction: almost every app is dangerous and scary. If it doesn't have a nice mobile web app, I'll try to avoid it on my phone.

Good. No one with any sense still uses that site.
Thank you! I mean how many more reasons do people need?
