“can you recommend an alternative?” no. that’s why I’m so fucking angry.

“can you recommend an alternative?” no. that’s why I’m so fucking angry. we fucked it. we’re no longer capable of making online chat protocols or web browsers or discussion forum software that people actually want to use. it’s all shit. every choice is either proprietary and exploitative or awful open source garbage sucking all the air out of all alternatives and forks, operated by fucking terrible people. we let this happen.

you want there to be an alternative so you can skip being angry too.

don’t come to this thread to argue. get angry and fucking do something about it. you feel trapped? good. welcome in. it fucking sucks in here.

@zzt Old stuff still works though.

@zzt Are we not in the alternative right now?
It can be built but can we steer lemmings to use it?

[matthew@fedi.acrossthecloud.net]

@zzt Reading this on the fediverse while nodding vigorously.

[zzt@mas.to]

hey shitheads who came here to argue: fuck you

that’s it actually, just fuck you

[zzt@mas.to]

“oh ho ho you posted this on mastodon which is the alternative to” get fucked. the open web is burning and you’re jacking off on the flames. the fuck is wrong with you.

@tux0r @zzt It does, but maybe IRC is too much of an excuse for us to not build something better.
