For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that’s been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?
Their users hate idea of fediverse
Even the main devs didn’t like fediverse
Federated social platforms, I don’t think, will ever become mainstream. They may work in certain niches or perhaps among a subset of tech savvy people, but I’m highly skeptical if regular people will ever migrate to them.
