@screwtape @vik @astrid agreed. VBA was a step too far already, excel (spreadsheet software in general) had features that blurred the line between "I'm using a program" and "I'm creating a program".
I wish something pulled me towards functional programming. It's so alien now, for me.

@screwtape @vik @astrid so... Like VBA?

@screwtape @vik @astrid visual basic for applications 😅
It was half serious, half shitposting

@anildash @laurengoode am I incredibly naive if my knee jerk reaction is that there should no be "trust and safety" decisions at scale?
Why would a person, or a small team, need to police what world leaders bark at each other?
If the president of a country wants to start a Civil War, should that be moderated by BigTech Ltd?

I don't think that free-for-all is a viable solution, but I don't think that platforms that are so big to be considered the locus of decision should exist.

Most tech companies are very committed to the user's right to despair.

@doot why would anybody think it's mastodon, when you are clearly talking about Fidonet!
