@argumatronic I'm imagining a universe where computers are still women but Haskell exists and it's the only way to talk to women.

Distantly you recall something called a "web browser" with "tabs" that you could switch between. Your left hand involuntarily twitches towards the Ctrl and Tab keys, driven by a deep longing for a past joy which you can no longer name

tfw you want to yell at the cloud and be a curmudgeon, but you're not nearly old enough to be convincing. you just like the classics.

Actually I take back my take-back. Trying to string together Rollup and Browserify and Babel with about 20 different plugins to handle JSX correctly and I'm starting to get a taste of why backend folks smack-talk modern JS practices so much. Some of these things are configured in 3 different places and it's hard to tell which config is actually winning. I get an error message and it's impossible to tell which plugin/transform/package caused it. We've ruined JavaScript, folks. #MastodonPerf

Okay, off the cuff and possibly wrongheaded in places depending on how it comes out:

A federated network of real-ish-time streaming data servers should have very minimal data payloads at their most basic level. The barest minimum of object properties for any object in a stream.

Implementations should add additional object properties to support their needs. There should be a well-defined format for sharing these additional properties and implementing elsewhere.

no. you don't get to dictate how we use the platform, only how you yourself use it. we​ can come to an agreement on some things, but you can't and won't push things onto other people.

i am not going back to twitter.
