@lewdum Are there any other #fediverse software other than #kbin and #lotide that don't require #JavaScript

Why is the fedi like this ​:renko_cry:​

@mima @lewdum I mean it's hard to make a social media app, which requires a ton of UI and dynamic interface elements, without JS

@anarchopunk_girl @mima does it really require those things or are we just used to them :02shrug: why does social media have to be real time? (just playing the devil's advocate here lol)

@lewdum @mima it doesn't require them in a Bare Bones sense but it would be a pretty unpleasant to use otherwise. Believe me, I'm a fan of minimal websites and not using JavaScript and I think most websites could get away with it but I think social media has to have a bit of a richer and more dynamic experience then static websites could offer. However, in my ideal world, we'd return to the paradigm where you actually use client apps for things that need that level of interactivity and dynamism, instead of websites.
