For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

Is anybody else worried about the lack of diverse opinion here? Just to clarify, I don’t think it’s a problem that hatred is minimal here, and I don’t just mean politics.

I feel like I very rarely see alternative opinions about anything, whether it be software, ai, news about companies, etc. it just seems like everyone universally agrees about anything with only a tiny handful of exceptions.

It makes me hesitant to believe I’m on the “correct side” and I never see any arguments from opposition. This makes me worried that I’m in some sort of echo chamber. In real life, I do see much more diverse opinions and, if I only used the fediverse for social media, would likely be weaker in defending my own since their arguments would be “new” to me.

I understand the reasons for which the fediverse has pretty collective opinion, but it does still worry me. I want to be able to see all the other people with their own thoughts (given it’s respectful) on the Internet, which should be the most capable tool to do so.

Listen, to any software devs on hexbear who might think like this: You are always correct, and anyone who disagrees is a dullard. You shouldn't have imposter syndrome. In fact, you're such a good programmer you probably give other people impostor syndrome.

Thank you! Finally someone gets it!

I'll start ddossing other repos, either directly, or by gumming up their devs with many ai agents making PRs that look ok but actually break things. Then everyone will switch to my ~~shitty~~ beautiful repl&terminal based api bindings! Oh you're having issues? No there isn't auto complete, tab inserts a literal tab. What do you mean "left and right arrows insert weird letters"? Just use backspace to delete your problems. Stop asking silly questions. What you want actual line wrapping? Sorry, I didn't want external dependencies so I clean roomed readline, but its only version 0.0.6, so there's still some kinks to work out and it doesn't actually do anything yet. Wait what do you mean "how do I view a post"? You call get-post with the post ID you want, then call the post-view reader function on the response object, then call the post reader function on the post view object, then call the body reader function on the post object. And ensure the post actually has a body, calling body reader on a post without a body is undefined behavior. Oh and be sure to check that its not an error response object first, or you'll crash the client and lose your jwt token and have to redo everything.

spoiler serious

I did this from memory so the object nesting may be wrong. Iirc a get request to /post returns the post wrapped in a post view wrapped in a get post response, but I could be wrong.

Thanks but its too late I've deleted the repos. I'm going to become a bean herder instead.
