💧 really wish ppl had more imagination for timelines than "fully chronological timeline without significant user customization" and "fully algorithmic timeline without user customization"

like why can't i cap the amount of posts i see per user per day, including customizing them for each of my follows?

where's my RSS-style daily/weekly feeds for each user i follow, with posts sortable by various factors incl engagement numbers?

from my understanding, the server softwares cache info of various posts that it receives from activitypub. why aren't we using this smh

@victoria why aren't you writing a patch right now to enable these features?

@bonifartius 🔥️ I'm a burnt out former lead billing engineer who is kind of done with this whole "computer" business for the time being.

@victoria
please mind that these demands let free software people burn out.

conversely to other software you actually have the chance to fix stuff. i think most maintainers appreciate a good patch or bug report.

i don't really want to do classic computer business anymore as well :)

@bonifartius 🔥️ Honestly totally fair. The sentiments in the OP could've certainly been voiced with less anger.

I'll need to find a way to overcome the intimidation that comes with not having contributed to many FOSS projects.
