@fisherstudio there would be no impact upon "plugin subscriptions", because all the plugins on WordPress.org are free and do not have any subscriptions available. Any updates done to plugins through subscriptions are done through other sites and other systems.

@chris specifically why do you consider it shit?

I admit that it's different, but it's just a JavaScript editor that produces HTML from basic text inputs.

I feel that a lot of shit gets given to it that it is not deserving of. And mostly by old school WordPress folks who think the classic editor is somehow better. (Hint, it's not, and I can go into deep dark detail about why)

@tchambers @arossp @funkwhale @Castopod That is actually kind of an argument against them, because podcasts are very much a media broadcast type of environment, not one inviting comment, necessarily.

Federation makes sense in a lot of discussion kind of systems, but a broadcast sort of mechanism that does not accept or desire comments doesn't really make sense in this environment. And I don't know a lot of podcast readers/listeners that have a built-in comment/feedback system for the podcast.

@misc @tchambers @arossp @funkwhale @Castopod You can discuss it all you want, the question is do the podcast's creators want to discuss it with you?

Having the ability to reply to somebody because they posted a thing on the fediverse is not the same thing as having a discussion about it with other people. You can argue that it gives a single place to have the discussion, but that may not be the creator's intentions or desires.

@annika you posted this comment on the internet. It went through a dozen machines and several fiber optic lines, possibly even cellular airspace, to get to anybody capable of reading it.

Capitalism literally created everything around you. I'm not saying it's the best, I'm just saying to have a sense of proportion.
