it really is amazing but there is still a long way to go, it's reparable but still proprietary 

yes, it's not really a nice experience compared to other services (both centralized and decentralized)

> A borderline retard can use it. good decentralized alternatives are already normie friendly (matrix and odysee for example) > It has really good marketing to make it seem cool and trendy. biggest problem right here, if only we had someone like the ex-president to advertise the plataform > It has some big name apolitical people to help it avoid becoming another right-wing political echo chamber. basically impossible to solve, decentralized free speech platforms will always be full of rightoids

the rust compiler is way too slow, so wouldn't really work here there are some big projects with rust but they all use custom build systems to circumvent the issue

custom ruqqus emojis confirmed in vue

i don't think it's open source tho, so you can't just deploy your own server
