@baldur well, #Adobe did release #AnimateJS as a means to transition #Flash developers to #HTML5+#JS6+#CSS3…

@mook OFC I do differenciate between "#WebApps" and #Websites to the point that #AnimateJS et. al. are the de-facto successor to #Flash as #Adobe literally supported it for that reason.

• Then again, I think these techniques should be delegated to their specific use-cases (noone expects browser game slites like #Miniclip to be #accessible!) instead.

For a lot of of cases, #JavaScript is mostly unnecessary fluff.

• Espechally when said #JS is not doing stuff that adds value but instead just adds #bloat.

I find it espechally insulting when stuff like #Mastodon prevents people from even looking up a profile or post at all cuz that's static content at the time of loading it and there's no legitimate reason to just offer a "lite" UI that just displays an otherwise hidden by #CSS & #JS banner that says sth. like: "this is just a lite preview. Certain functionality will not work, like commenting, boosting or liking. Please use a 3rd party client or activate JavaScript and reload the page if you want to use that."

• But I guess that's something Developers at Mastodon are unwilling to accept cuz they have a nonchalant attitude of thinking they are perfect #TechBros!
