I have a weird urge to migrate misskey fork again and I do quite like some stuff about iceshrimp (but also on the other hand I like fun new features too,,,)
@cheri@mia come here we have fast(er) backend and a working masto api, and have incoming rewrites of backend (possibly in c# because it good now apparently) and frontend (but it will match current fe in look and feel as much as possible, just without the jank)
@jeder@cheri i mean, activitypub the protocol is actually fairly simple once you do enough research and practical experimentation. it just takes a while to do that
@jeder@cheri like, learning that the specification actively lies to you in the context of modern activitypub. learning to never trust anything but your own two eyes
@jeder@cheri really, implementing activitypub is less about writing the code and more about giving up your own humanity. it is a process of rugged rediscovery of self. it is the dimming of the light, it is the antipattern
