  OK What the hell man I love this in concept. Definitly not something I’d use, got my own setup and I like it quite alot, but fuck man I’ve always described NeoVim as a build it yourself text editor and you’ve said here “why stop at neovim?”

  Hell yeah my guy. That’s such a cool way to at least get your environment running on any system. Would love to look into this to see if I can do something similar. Right now I just have a bash script that builds up my env.

  Oh shit, how do I do that?

  On bans I did mean sitewide as I know atleast veganhomecooks banned me (no clue why though I never interacted there). Fully understandable to think I meant communities with how I phrased it though lol.

  Again though, I’d love to know how to check for bans. I’m very curious

  Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.

  All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse

  Now, I don’t tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.

  For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.

  I’d argue this is more like “I want to build a competitor to spotify so let’s decide between using mariaDB or writing an SQL compliant database from scratch”

  In your example, a database is the end goal and you can either start with a premade or make your own.

  Here, a social media platform is the end goal. Activitypub is a very important part of it but it’s not the entire piece.

  If we replace the parts of your analogy with the original your example would parse out to “I want to make a competitor to lemmies ActivityPub integration, so let’s start with fedify” which is not the same as the article states.

  Now, should you re-impliment a protocol yourself or use a generic library is the real question. Both have their benefits. With option A you have full code ownership and can wrap your solution around your end goal without the issue of dealing with the original to get needed changes accepted. You don’t have to worry about code not written by or understood by you. With option B, you get a more robust and almost certainly more accurate implementation. Along with, for free, better integration with any service using the same library. Very useful for a federated service when talking about cross platform.

  Both have many more positives and negatives of course and each person should decide on their own how to proceed.

  My opinion? I think it’s usually best to own anything which could feasibly be understood by a single dev. Even if each dev doesn’t. Anything larger shouldn’t be internal in my strong opinion. Most negatives of an external library also apply at that point with enough time.

  I’d suggest the hands on approach personally. It may take some tomato get up though.

  You can install a distro onto a USB stick and boot from it to play around and see if you like it.

  Here’s a quick tutorial:
  docs.fedoraproject.org/…/preparing-boot-media/

  And separately the distro I’d reccomemd using:
  fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/

  After you create the live CD you should be able to keep it plugged in and boot to using this method from howtogeek:
  howtogeek.com/…/beginner-geek-how-to-change-the-b…

  To be clear if you stop there Linux will not installed, you won’t lose any data, and you can just unplug the USB stick to allow windows to boot up when you restart.

  One note, sinceit’s installed to a USB stick it’ll be a bit slower than if you installed it on your PC. Still though, it’ll be the same idea.

  Here’s a full guide on how to install it:
