1 year agoI’ve been on Pulsar since Atom retired and I love it. I’m mostly doing AsciiDoc with a bit of HTML, CSS, JS, J/CSON, and OAS/YAML.
Some of our team switched to VSCode but I prefer Pulsar’s UI and workflow, and especially the multicursor support. Obviously it’s still under active development to tidy up leftover cruft from the fork, and there are a few more AsciiDoc-specific features I’d love to add without resorting to custom scripts, but overall it’s my favourite editor by far.
It’s still early days, I don’t think we’re quite doomed just yet. Right now we’re witnessing the Fediverse’s initial wild west Cambrian explosion sort of era. I reckon eventually the landscape will settle as people flock to where there are already other people, and tools develop and mature to navigate and manage servers/communities.
Obviously we need human mods to weed out morons and maintain quality, but automoderation and other mod tools for spam/astroturfing/etc. will also make a huge difference. A quick google turned up this Lemmy automod which appears to be in active development, and I’m sure there are plenty of others in the works.
