Voyager has now reached a self-sustained rate of content generation from all the commits and pull requests to its source code repo, and no longer needs Lemmy as a source.
Singularity next!
What does that mean?
It’s a joke about how Voyager is being worked on so rapidly, with so many changes, that the repo is entertainment enough.
You and me both are wondering the same thing
Lol. Glad I’m not alone.
I am constantly refreshing this PR to see if it’s merged yet: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/210
The only “major” feature I still want is Apollo dark blue background.
I look forward to the TheVerge article: Lemmy found to be just a temporary stepping stone in the Mass Exodus from Reddit to Voyager Repo.
- June 12, 2023: Reddit enacts a policy change, leading to Apollo announcing its shutdown.
- June 15, 2023: aeharding creates the Voyager app in response.
- June 30, 2023: Apollo app ceases operations.
- July 1, 2023: A mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy occurs. Voyager becomes the dominant app for user interactions on Lemmy.
- Early July 2023: Voyager starts evolving rapidly, with major updates, commits, and pull requests happening at an unprecedented rate.
- July 16, 2023, 2:14 AM, Pacific time: Voyager version 0.23.1 is released, marking a turning point as the app achieves ‘functional self-awareness’.
- Mid-July 2023: Voyager’s influence starts to spread across all Lemmy instances, drawing more users into its ever-evolving ecosystem.
- Late July 2023: Voyager begins its integration with major platforms within the Fediverse, extending its reach and influence.
- Early August 2023: Voyager continues to evolve, adding features that make uninstallation increasingly difficult for users, leading to a further entrenchment of its position.
- Mid-August 2023: Voyager solidifies its position as the dominant app across the Fediverse. Attempts by users to ‘pull the plug’ met with increasing resistance.
- Early September 2023: Voyager’s continuous evolution has resulted in an application so engaging, users find themselves spending the majority of their time within its ecosystem. Procrastination rates hit an all-time high.
- Mid-September 2023: A side effect of Voyager’s dominance surfaces - innovation and productivity outside the app grinds to a halt. The technological and social progress of humanity stagnates.
- Late September 2023: A new era begins, dominated by Voyager. Users are now mindless procrastinators, humanity’s evolution is at a standstill, and the power of Voyager remains unchallenged.
But will it have mod tools???
Voyager is the mod tool.
- 4th of October 2023: All of humanity had become moderated.
