   @TheMadPirate @amerika @teajaygrey Written in a niche language (Elixir), at that!

     I don't mean to grep.... but the fact that people forget the simplicity of the past is awkward. Nonetheless, well sed.

     @amerika @teajaygrey Maybe they grew too much accustomed to canned solutions/libraries and just "trust" they are doing it right. Yeah, I know, the idea of Open Source software is that you can hack and solve those issue yourself, but then I wonder if most people are really comfortable with surfing through and insurmountably levels of poorly documented code.

     Software developers have forgotten the past seventy years of history entirely, and lost the ability to homebrew/hack anything.

     /me observes that "The Kid"'s WordPress blog which has some Perl scripts to copy replies from ActivityPub/FediVerse/Mastodon doesn't actually sync changes to those replies if the upstream message was revised.

     Still, I guess it's not much different than posting directly to said blog, and also: not being able to edit a post.

     /me wonders if the official WordPress ActivityPub/Mastodon support is as bad?

     We had libre/free open source BBSes which had message editing functionality in the 1980s, Citadel BBSes' networking even had "anti-vortexing" (their nomenclature for message deduplication). Heck, The Mother of All Demos showed off collaborative networked editing in the 1960s. That kind of functionality, to me, is fundamental. To WordPress in 2023: apparently it's still unimplemented?

     Maybe someday I won't be phased by how regressive some popularized technology is, but today is not that day.
