Hey #Fediverse, are you aware of any free software alternatives to https://toggl.com/ ? I need something that will help me track the time I spend on various endeavours.
Gracias a todos los usuarios por las donaciones, en unas horas se recaudó el dinero suficiente para terminar el año. Hace unas horas no miraba futuro a SUChat.org, gracias al increíble interés de todos vosotros lo conseguimos. MUCHAS GRACIAS.
Hoy hemos dado una charla sobre cibervigilancia y presentado un nuevo nodo Mastodon de ámbito local, el nodo xarxamontgri.masto.host al cual deseamos una larga vida en el #fediverse
In the old days ... that is, in the year or two before and after #StatusNet ended and #GNU_Social began (and the bifurcation of one #OStatus network into two networks that couldn't talk to one another) a number of left-leaning projects joined the #Fediverse, seeing it as a way to help solve whatever issue they were working on.
Projects in Spain, in France, in South America. And of course, Sweden's EKK and their Qvitter project & Quitter instance. Of these, Qvitter/Quitter lasted longest.
What really surprised me is that few right-leaning and even fewer religious-based groups joined back then. Even then, having views that are not far-left was frowned on by the big #corpocentric sites. Believing that some deity exists and that your views and actions should be influenced by that is even more actively opposed by the big sites than rightist views.
But even then, the left wingers weren't harassing those who just wanted a space to hang out or the occasional right winger who stumbled into the network.
I really need to try to sort out my memories of the Fediverse since I joined Identica in 2009 and publish my own history article. So many of the ones I've seen leave out things I found important, or focus on political things that are only tangential to the overall story.
I think many of the mistakes that Evan initially made in 2006-2007 have been repeated by everyone in this space, which is why so many anti-federation proposals are strongly argued for by people who have not been here for a decade.
I don't think politicizing the #Fediverse is what Feld is getting at. He's saying that people are starting to pay attention, but the AP implementations still lack features they use on #corpocentric sites.
Note that everything proposed was in #StatusNet a decade ago. Some was stripped out a few years back, but I can still do calendar events and communicate with PuSH-enabled blogs from #GNU_Social today.
Admin question: how do single-user instances affect the dynamics and daily activity of community management? Do they make the life of managing an instance with many users harder, easier, makes no difference?
