I can foresee a situation where lots of lemmings will have two accounts.

It's a great predictor of how the rest of your interaction with a site will go. If a dev doesn't have the space and motivation to give a shit about details like this, they'll cut corners on other shit too. It doesn't always mean they're bad developers; more often they're just rushed.

I know, right? It's lovely to see a real, genuine, bona fide dickhead in the comments. God bless you Slacker, you fucking moron.

Congratulations! You have been my first downvote on Lemmy! You said a dumb thing.

Good bot.

Also: Good! Bots! This is the first one I've seen.

I've tried Jerboa, Summit and Liftoff but my daily is wefwef because it has the most complete interface.

https://wefwef.app. It's a progressive web app so your browser will let you install like a normal phone app. Even worked on my Linux desktop.

I knew it was coming but still it sucked to check in on the app and have nothing load.

Welp, that frees up a coveted slot near the bottom of my home screen.

I think it's a server issue (because of the influx of folks like us) more than the apps, which are just dumb clients for the API.

That said, you need get yourself on wefwef.app because it's the most polished one I've seen.

I don't think (completely wild guess here) AI content crawlers should have any more impact than the dozens and dozens of search spiders that make up must of my own site's traffic.

The impact was magnified for Twitter because it generates so much new content every second. That wasn't an issue when Twitter had a nice, properly cached API and it shouldn't be an issue for fediverse instances going forward because we have RSS and caching and we're not so stupid as to turn those off. Like, what kind of moron would do that?

That wasn't an issue when Twitter had a nice, properly cached API and it shouldn't be an issue for fediverse instances either because we have RSS and caching and we're not so stupid as to turn those off.

I trust that you all are normal and level headed individuals who can come to disagreements but still respect eachother

Not me!
