it’s a combination of factors. The software is not super robust, the feature set is not what people demand, it doesn’t have the financial needed, nor the developer quantity, and people really want an algorithm despite what a lot of people in the fediverse say. The problem is you have to consider what drives people to platforms like Twitter or Instagram in the first place, and a lot of those ideals do not directly mesh with the core fundamentals of your average FOSS enthusiast. It’s part of why I have become a big fan of blue sky is they are sort of tackling all sides at once. it’s free and open source, it has algorithms, it’s federated, It’s financially backed, it has a pretty big dev team, It is written in modern web development languages that a lot of other web developers also use. They just overall thought about it well and are executing efficiently. I’m not sure there’s any other platform that you could really consider jumping to instead of mastodon if you care about free and open source and you want to be where the people are.

I promise you mastodon will never, ever be a true Twitter competitor.

The screenshot here in this very thread specifically says that they are an expert

Yes

It’s schmear, we are civilized here.

Interesting, my Kagi results gave W3Schools, geeks for geeks, and postgresqltutorial.com before the official docs, but hey still way better than OP’s results!

people with certain medical issues in their bowels can be cured of them by a fecal transplant from someone who is a good donor. It usually means a family member. The purpose is to treat bowel infections. Pretty neat shit.

Who sold you your crack? I want some because I can’t afford healthcare to fix my health issues due to the military complex I live within, but I gotta stop this pain somehow.

I understand the math, that isn’t the problem. It’s how it looks. I have a struggle parsing it.

it has nothing to do with the equation itself, but the way that it looks. I understand the basics of the mathematics, but looking at it in this form does not work for me.

I am in the completely opposite camp of you, I cannot, for the life of me comprehend the equation in this form.

You could just go to theast page 😎

Finally, a good meme to call out this NPC response

Put text in the square brackets, link in the parentheses

Keeping something that’s difficult to maintain and cannot integrate well with new features isn’t how software works.
