    Indeed. Try making something with Symfony and you’re going to have to adhere to strict theoretical guidelines that encourages you to write 200 10-line files, for a simple application. Use Drupal and well, you’re going to spend ten years just to understand how it all works on that pathetic joke, use laravel and as opinionated as it is, it’s probably going to make a lot more sense to you in ten months time.

    Unless, you want to do something in the database other than basic CRUD. That’s when ugly hacks are needed.





















  • Thank you for typing all this out - I concur on a lot of things, especially the politics. Once you mute the political communities, lemmy is nothing but gaming, linux, trans, and German and Danish communities about politics! All the noise across networks I suspect is from a lot of bots. For many years (even before LLMs), it’s always been fairly easy to automatically create text posts to persuade and manipulate. Now, with the advent of LLMs, they can adapt to relevant communities and your specific post history to create hard-hitting “OMG someone is wrong on the internet and I must correct them” noise, either to keep you engaged (a la facebook) or to manipulate you or others vicariously.

    Just think, all that time and effort you put into typing your response (even if you can type > 100 wpm), you could have spent looking for a real-life community to join - board game clubs, a local coffee / tea cafe and you’ll soon be talking to the regulars, a pub, even for a coffee (especially during the day time) and so on

    Start with easy openly friendly people and work your way up. Or just jump in to speed dating and be stupid with it!
