“I mean tbh that’s a failing ov the “creative” internet then? Unless ppl just want an alt techbro space I guess.”
@tiefling@bardicperspiration.club yeah, I agree, it is a failing. Tech bros, even the anti-fascist variety, have a hard time reaching out to people who aren’t like them. I was just talking about this in a different thread, but if us tech guy’s unique skills are so useful, and if we are really interested in becoming more communitarian, we would offer our apps to more people in our communities.
We just have to be clear about how we communicate, that our apps aren’t going to have the same level of quality or reliability as something from Google or Amazon or Apple, and we can’t provide tech support all the time. It is something we do for fun, and maybe to provide something we can use together with our friends. So as long as no one comes us demanding customer service when it isn’t working right, we’d be happy to share. But we need to learn to temper our speech, and stop talking like a Silicon Valley tech bro about changing the world and better ways of doing things and what not. Stop worrying about “scale” and “features” and “selling points,” because this isn’t about selling anything.
Then we might get more creative non-tech people involved, which would be benefit to everyone.

@ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org I mean, I'm not techie but I understand a lot of things. But my most irk ick is ppl telling me I need to learn a whole stupid career just to like, change a color or something. Like okie, I don't ask ppl to learn MY jobbo or judge if they can't do it but like, techies do that to me a lot. But tbh? Prob lot of that is being a "stupid girl" to them. @DaimonRainbow@bardicperspiration.club
