I've enjoyed what I've done with Axum thus far. I ultimately opted to use Leptos on top of it, so I don't really use it directly at this point. But it's neat.
For a long time, I used PHP and JS/TS for web projects. Now I'm using Rust with Axum/Tokio/Tower/Hyper (web server), Leptos (SSR using "Islands" flag, which also allows WASM generation for front end; JSX-like syntax), and Diesel (ORM and query builder that expects you define your schema using raw SQL). (I also leapt from DB2, MySQL and MariaDB to PostgreSQL)
It's heaven.
Can you talk about about performance implications of using WASM?
1. The browser needs to load the whole app before anything else could be done resulting in a slow first load.
2. WASM -> DOM manipulation is slow.

I just proved your point down below. You don't like voting, do you?
Also, it's advertisers that stay away, and it's X challenging them in court over it. The world is getting weirder by the day.
Do you have an uncle that can't stop ranting and calling people names? People just leave his presence. That behavior is just the worst and we're not born to suffer it, passively. That's the whole point of the free speech fallacy. Now the shouters are in power, so they can pour their trauma down our throats, as if this were some therapy. No, it's just abuse and it's perverse. That's why people leave X. They have a target on their back.
You literally have a "Following" tab where you can have a timeline for only people you care about. You also have both a mute & a block button. Any platform focused on news & politics will have people fighting & insulting each other, learn to deal with it.
Advertisers have left as part of a concerted pressure campaign to bring back censorship. This effort has been coordinated by NGOs that ironically receive funding by the US Gov't as part of their mis/dis/malinformation playbook in order to keep in check populist political movements that may undermine the State Department's interests. As soon as Elon sued GARM, it broke apart, and I bet the Trump admin will target NewsGuard and kill it as well.

X is the 15th largest social network by MAU[1], and falling.
And there is some irony in your praise for tolerance.

I may disagree with people politically, but I would never ask to ban them. Heck, I don't even report people who hurl racist insults at me, I just counter-attack, just like I would in real life.
It has been paused based on normal steps in bankruptcy proceedings[0].
> A court hearing is typically held after a bankruptcy auction to finalize the winning bids and sales, and to hear any objections, so the process in Jones's case hasn't strayed far from the usual — yet.

Also try and cut out the name calling, especially when you're incorrect.
When it comes to trusting the fake news outlet CBC or Alex Jones, I'd go with Jones on this one: https://x.com/glennbeck/status/1857529776866574769
- we now see that "bidenomics" was a disaster after the media decided to stop lying about it and blaming the people for not believing "the stats". job numbers revised down massively after it was no longer viable to lie during the election.
- crime rates revised silently UP: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/...
- apparently there was no need for a "bipartisan border bill" or for "congress to act" in order to shut down the border as encounters are down 90% now.
people have their panties in a bunch about tariffs, but I don't understand why reciprocal tariffs are so bad.
it appears that people here are happy for things to go south just so that they could shit on trump. how about having a bit more optimism for the future, even if the near term will be a bit shakey?
