  • All parsers ignore a shitload of whitespace already. Just compare unformatted code, COMPLETELY unformatted code, code without character returns, and it’ll become obvious how any given language is interpreted around whitespace.

    Also fun to see just how infrequent a semicolon is ‘actually’ needed to tell when the end of a statement is here.






  • Logical errors are an entire domain of programmer troubleshooting. All you’ll have to do is attempt to learn programming, and you WILL write something that throws no errors, performs terribly, and confuses you for hours.

    We all do. It’s almost a badge of honor to push past a few of them.

    Hell, sometimes it happens when no one has made an error but a particular mix of data or odd arrangement of hardware it ends up running on hits an undiscovered edge case that buggers things up.

    I’m not saying don’t criticize it. I’m saying even understand what it’s trying to do before you start whining about how it doesn’t work.

    This was always, ALWAYS going to happen. That was the plan. The idea isn’t to magically solve all of Reddit’s problems, but to decentralize the product. It’s the same product, OF COURSE it has nearly the same identical flaws on a per-instance basis.

    The entire point is the federation and choice, NOT some mystical idea of a Reddit without Reddit problems. That’s just stupid expectations.

    Ahh yes, the ability to have different communities with different rules is WORSE than a monolith that bans anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader…

    Your views are completely ignorant to what the entire point of the fediverse even is. If you want to go live under a king that can have you killed for frowning at him … leave. No one is keeping you here against your will.
