  • For many of these, WebAssembly is critical to either their entire product or a major feature.

    But I think this alone is not very convincing. We don’t yet see major websites entirely built with webassembly-based frameworks.

    Why should it be necessary to build things only in wasm for the web? JS is a really good language for building frontends. There is a reason why lots of companies prefer building native applications with React. People always complain about framework bloat with JS, but then we want to hype up shipping huge wasm binaries? Just for basic interaction in a UI?

    Wasm is doing great, inside and outside the browser. But it won’t replace JS because there’s no reason to do so.


  • I disagree. You are right that through federation and open source you can create your instance if another instance is a nazi bar. But now you open your new bar. Should you buy chairs from the nazis for your bar? Is it not a problem if the nazis are the only ones producing chairs?

    That is to me the analogy with lemmy. Yes I don’t have to be on .ml. But I don’t want to sit on the transphobic, genocide denier built chair either.

    Technology and society don’t exist in separate spheres and we should always consider them together.

    So go with piefed if you can. I haven’t had any complaints since I switched :)
