in the early months of development there was a SPECIAL DISCORD CHANNEL that if you paid enough on Eugen’s Patreon you could get access to in order to advocate new features. prior to April 2017 this channel was significantly queer. after April 2017 Eugen found other funding sources in the form of white techbros.

THAT’S WHAT IT’S ABOUT

it was a response to CHANGING MATERIAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS REGARDING MASTODON DEVELOPMENT not simply about “culture shock” or whatever lmao

your five year reminder that MOURNING MASTODON was a response to techbros PAYING EUGEN MONEY so he wouldn't have to listen to queer people anymore

kitten has decided that it is the season for snuggling

brb just uploading ROT13’d versions of all our emoji

@aescling @alyssa no, the arrow functions are being defined using = inside a class declaration, so the context is the constructed instance (instance fields are defined after the call to `super()` in the constructor iirc)

like

class Blah extends React.Component {
yep = () => {}
}

is doing

class Blah extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super()
this.yep = () => {}
}
}

@alyssa it's very cursed imo for arrow functions to refer to `this` when they don't appear inside a different non-arrow function whose `this` they are inheriting, but this is apparently normal for React

@Laure it might not be supported by tech.lgbt… @david do you have the :trainsgender: over there? (it’s one of the mutant standard extras)

Lady boosted

up word, It brings up many
