Did I just read a rant about Minecraft?

Not Minecraft in particular, just the most popular build system for mods.
Gradle is slow, and everything that team has done to speed it up has ended up causing more issues. They try to fix those, causing even more issues. Repeat ad infinitum.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Perhaps those tools were written by people who learned coding on Minecraft itself...
(I was just reading some rant yesterday that in a lot of cases Google's "hour of coding" thing used to teach kids how to code has essentially turned into letting kids play Minecraft for an hour)...

Nah, about gradle.
I's like an ant, but with the wrong number of legs attached to the wrong bits.
Apparently, lots of people love it.

You have just been promoted to my "must meet some day" list.
I believe I've never heard anyone call it a bugcheck.

That's what Windows calls it.

I don't have the first idea of how to write code nor the time or money that is required to do it..I want to know what is the biggest factor stopping the next platform of social media being developed to take on Facebook? It seems like Zuckerberg has the whole pie

Who knows?
It may even be out there already - nobody expected Farcebook or Twatter to grow the way it did, but it could collapse tomorrow and join the hundreds of other "next big thing"s that have disappeared over the years.
Personally, I wouldn't miss either of 'em...

Nothing to do with programming.
Imagine that you have a super talented and super energetic hacker friend that can implement it all at home during the the evenings.
Your problem is now, how do you grow that website?
The problem goes beyond programming.
Facebook was first at the right time. New site will have it much harder....

To succeed, all you gotta do is not become so self-righteous as to assume you can correctly identify "fake news", or impose your own sense of morals on your users.

Fake news won't get in the way of success. The major television networks have been doing that for decades with plenty of success.

Actually, it was severalth. Remember MySpace, Friendster, Six Degrees, Live Journal, etc?
And that's not to mention "communities", like the ones set up by companies like AOL and Compuserve, or Usenet.
IMO, facebook is probably the final step too far, in that it goes further than most people actually want; and "social" networking will move toward being far more restricted and "private" -- except, of course, for marketers/advertisers, attention whores, and others with nothing of value to "share".

"Severalth" - is that really an "official" English word? Whether it is or not: I like it!
The one I would mention is Second Life. Even state agencies established their information boots in SL. If you didn't have an SL account, there was no other simple way of obtaining the same information as was available in the SL information boot.
Second Life was so real that one German guy was dragged to court for sexual abuse of minors in SL! Sure, there was an 18 year age limit, but that didn't prevent you from making your avatar look like a twelve year old. The avatar of this German guy had misled this twelve-year-old-looking avatar into immoral and illegal acts, for which he was sued (even though noone claimed that the person with the 'underage' avatar was underage). So, in some respects, SL was even more "real life" than Facebook is.

I wouldn't want anyone to go away with the idea that it really is an "official" word -- but I doubt that anyone would misunderstand its meaning.

I think that is how Shakespeare coined so many words. They sounded right, made sense, and everyone picked up on the new words. So if enough of us start using the word it will be added to the Oxford dictionary.

Because I have no interest in writing a social media app.

I would, if there was a way to administer electric shocks when the user posts something really stupid. Which would be most of Farcebook and Twatter...

It might be fun to do as an intellectual exercise, but can you imagine supporting it?
I'd probably be shopping for machetes and machine guns, within a week.

One problem is that you can never accurately predict which application will meet with success.
