A bit of background: in the programming world, there are various package managers one can use to manage project dependencies. For a long time, I've been using npm (Node Package Manager) which has served me well over the years. However, a majority of my colleagues have transitioned to using Yarn, another popular package manager. They claim it's faster, more reliable, and basically the next best thing since sliced bread.
They've formed a group that they've facetiously named "The Yarn Boys". Initially, it seemed all in good fun and an inside joke of sorts. But it escalated quickly to the point where they've been bullying me for not making the switch from npm to Yarn.
Things took a turn for the worse when they started excluding me from social events. Before this whole debacle, we used to hang out a lot, going out for drinks or playing TopGolf during the weekends. Now, they won't invite me to any gatherings, stating that it's a "Yarn Boys only" event and I would only be welcomed if I start using Yarn myself.
I feel this is completely childish and unprofessional. I believe in using what works best for me, and npm has never given me any significant issues. The shift to Yarn, in my opinion, doesn't warrant the kind of exclusion and ridicule I'm experiencing.
Moreover, I feel like our friendship is being tested over a minor disagreement on tool preference, which seems absurd. I miss the camaraderie we had, but at the same time, I don't want to switch just to appease them and get back into their good graces.
So, am I in the wrong for sticking to my guns and continuing to use npm despite the pressure from "The Yarn Boys"? #NeedAdvice #AmITheAsshole #JSDev
My input on the bsky vs mastodon discussion
Alt...
A meme, the first panel shows a screenshot from Twitter, showing a screenshot from bluesky. The first panel lists "I found out that the other site (bluesky) will date your post based on your system time".
They quote a bluesky post saying "hey guys just stepping out of my manhattan apartment. anything going on today". The post is timestamped as September 11, 2001 (The day the 9/11 attacks happened).
The other panel shows a post by h@besties.house on mastodon saying: "oh my god they killed him day 1?????". The timestamp on the post is however in the future (something that's not possible on bluesky). The date is shown as January 20, 2025.
The text at the bottom of the meme says "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power"
It's absolutely wiiild to see people saying some genuinely useful stuff on fedi but doing it in a 22-part thread because their instance has a character limit straight out of 2013 
seriously, admins, at least give people a few thousand, I promise it won't end the world nor the microblogging feel some people so desperately cling to for some reason 
mostly looking at you, #Mastodon , but also #Fedi in general 
sincerely,
someone whose instance gave her enough that this last sentence didn't have to be its own damn post 
edge case #mastodon question: do any of yall know if replying with a public post to a followers-only post that itself is a reply to a public post will maintain the thread all the way up to the og post when viewed while not following that account?
it's like this
#activitypub #atproto #mastodon #bluesky

A comic by cartoonist Tom Gauld, depicting two rival kingdoms that are nearly exactly the same, however the one on the left, "our" kingdom, is described positively and the one on the right, "their" kingdom, is described negatively. It has been edited to compare federated social media protocols instead.
The one on the left, "our blessed ActivityPub", harbors "our glorious fediverse", "our great Mastodon", "our noble instances", and "our heroic ActivityStreams". The one on the right, "their barbarous AT Protocol", contains "their wicked ATmosphere", "their primitive Bluesky", "their backward PDSes", and "their brutish lexicons".
