I get called out here because I say #Pixelfed is a mess.
That's a bit weird. Objectively it's an unfinished product with missing features, missing UI and UX polish and even nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq2tyk735v52ju032qahe3k2r520jlsujaem6xr8n0ex6u7eqj0anqgyasy0 (nprofile…asy0) says the current web interface isn't good and he's working on something new.
We want Pixelfed to be not only an alternative to bigger platforms but to be the best choice. Shouldn't we be open then about things that don't work properly or are implemented poorly?
Defending Dan because he does most of the work on his own isn't what helps anyone. Being aggressive towards people that point out problems isn't helpful at all too.
Don't pretend Pixelfed is without errors. Don't pretend the current state is good.
It's an okayish start but there is a really long way to make it a good product.
But it will never become something good if we don't point out that the current state is a mess. Even if you probably could argue that the wording is a bit harsh.
As a developer for 18 years myself I can say you putting on white gloves when criticizing a project will don't move anything. So don't act like we're in Kindergarten here.
