@kbin.socialWhen I say "optional", I mean you can just create a filename.php and start putting lines of code into it, and it'll work fine. But, these days OOP is favored by most and pretty much everyone is using it. So if you are working on code that other people have written, classes are everywhere.
A lot of Wordpress code is non-OOP, though.
PHP is huge and more relevant than you realise. There are many many PHP developers.
IMO one of the things holding the fediverse back is that not much of it is written in Python or PHP. Neither are "good" languages but there is a massive pool of developers and they're easy to get up and running.
Often, the option to downvote is the only thing stopping me from getting sucked into some stupid argument with an idiot. It is a massive productivity booster. Downvote and move on.
I wish kbin would hide posts with lots of downvotes...
I expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.
I tried a few different things in the kbin search and @intertwingled@tube.arthack.nz
got a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.
