I’m testing it now. Honestly you couldnt tell this isn’t just like before. The main thing sync has over the other clients is speed. Scrolling the feed doesn’t result in it jumping everwhere as images load in. They are already loaded and sized properly. And a million other little things and polish that make it amazing.

We need more than this.
We need a way to make sure that the internet can’t be owned, physically.
We need some kind of easy to use and fast and robust open source alternate internet that we can all use.
Something that somehow costs nothing to run, that has enough storage and bandwidth for everyone and everything.
Something that has interoperability built in. Every platform should confirm to openid or openauth or activitypub or something like that.
And you know what? we have the technology!
We all have spare devices lying around. Old PC’s, old laptops, old phones - they could all be running some kind of node in a distributed platform of some kind of open source AWS equivalent, and let anyone host anything and post anything without getting ad-raped or data stolen.
It’s a pipe dream of mine, and I’m sure others… but with a will and a movement we could just take it all back, all at once.
