@nyquildotorg @jalefkowit npm is fine. Actually, when it came out, it revolutionised dependency management. Cargo, widely regarded as one of the best dependency managers, took a lot of inspiration from npm.

Remember that JS lacks a proper standard library and developers are forced to rely on third-party libraries. Correct me if I'm wrong but statements such as yours tend to come from people who've never even worked with JS. npm has problems, sure, but so does everything.

@reiver The same could be said about Flash and Java applets though 😛

@dansup @pixelfed Tbh I get it, pull requests represent things other people are interested in, you might not care about them and that's ok. Still, if you do ever feel like reviewing my two Docker PRs, that would be lovely. 😅

@dansup Good luck, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. I've been building our hosting platform for the last 2 years and there's still a sizeable backlog, not to mention all the sleepless nights. I thought this would be a lot easier when I started, as one always does. 😬

Have you considered reaching out to existing Pixelfed hosting providers about sponsorship or perhaps white labelling?

@dansup I love GoToSocial, but it's still rather early stage. I'm guessing this is just down to the fact that it's extremely easy to setup? Active users is probably more like 95% Mastodon.

@dwarf Hetzner. /thread ?
