The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it’s open and we’re privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they’re just as haphazard and badly documented, it’s just all closed.

I don’t think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that’s why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.

For those who don’t want to read TFA: the brands are Gilead and NYU Lagone Hospital

Listing only things that haven’t been listed

• Seal: video downloader that lives in the “share” menu
• Aegis: TOTP/Google Authenticator clone that’s open source
• personalDNSfilter: an in device vpn that lets you block websites (mostly ads) (blocks in app ads too for quite a few apps!)

I still do. But then I remember that its gone and I put my phone back down and find something else to do.
