You really need to ask someone who knows what React is about React lol. It is not a UI for web apps.

Using “web based components” doesn’t make something a web app 🤣.

Is steam a web app?

Microsoft also made and use this……

Using LLMs for development is fantastic as long as you know how to use it, which is how it is for every tool.

The difference with LLMs and other tools is that anyone can use them easily and get incredible results……as long as you don’t look under the covers. The developers that use them well are getting results and code that are indistinguishable from code they’d write themselves.

1. Doesn’t even come close to proving anything.
2. Proves nothing. Is edge a web app?
3. The start menu is not a web app.
4. React does not mean web lol. React is a UI library.

It’s a native Windows app. What makes you think it’s “coded with web tech”? Do you know it’s just a web wrapper?

Dumb people use their tools incorrectly. That’s all you’re describing.

It’s not a “web app”. It’s a native Windows app. A photo library app that indexes every single photo so you can search them with natural language like “green shirt”, group people by facial recognition, and edit photos, using under 1GB of RAM is impressive.

On the contrary - the people who tell you AI doesn’t add any value and will disappear in a few years are either lying, dumb, or completely ignorant of what AI can already do.

And there you go proving my point :)

Your software encourages an echo chamber and pile-ons of people, just like you’re doing right now, purely based on downvotes, downvotes which aren’t a representation of truth/quality but almost exclusively from not being part of the echo chamber.

What did you think putting a target on people’s backs would do? It’s almost like that was the whole point…… and going by this very comment of yours, it’s hard to argue it’s not.

Those are in no way the same thing. Lemmy having community descriptions that individual mods and admins can lie in is not the same as Piefed having automated “hey everyone, block and ban these users preemptively!” messages or banning everything that’s not on one side of politics.

Again so it hopefully gets through this time - Lemmy, the software, has zero ideological biases or authoritarian behaviour built in. Piefed does. You might be a far more rational and unbiased person than the Lemmy devs, but your software isn’t.

The software is open and has zero political or ideological leaning is what that person and I mean.

Yours, on the other hand, is not, and does. I’m sure I’m tagged by default on Piefed already as “low quality” or something of the sort, purely because people downvote me because I’m not in the echo chamber of allowed opinions. Over the last few days I’ve had like 300 downvotes to about 15 upvotes just on about 3 comments in the one topic, where my comments are 100% factually, undeniably, demonstrably, correct - but people don’t like it because they think it’s “pro Apple”, and the echo chamber says they have to hate Apple.

That would make Piefed put a giant target on my head, wouldn’t it? Basically telling everyone “block this guy and ban him from your communities”. Lemmy doesn’t do that.

You also have a curated-by-you list of banned sources, which includes basically everything anyone left of centre would call “right wing”, which in reality is anything that isn’t left wing biased. Lemmy doesn’t.

Piefed is ideologically driven by the creator, and encourages pre-emptive banning and blocking users who don’t just participate in echo chamber behaviour.

Lemmys devs might be ideologically captured too, but their software isn’t, so it’s the better option.
