For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that's been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

https://discuit.substack.com/p/introducing-discuit here they state explicitly they don't want federation. He also explains why he thinks federation doesn't work, however I don't find these arguments convincing
