I have no idea where to look for the rest of these photos that will trigger Link's memory.

I'm just going to be wandering around for MONTHS.

For some reason, I'm really looking forward to this.

I think I successfully submitted a talk (two actually) to #ActivityPubConf!

I'm looking at how to fund my own travel and lodging. Let me know if you want to help me!

Tusky and Florence doesn't really have enough funds yet to pay for the whole thing, but you can view it as a contribution to those projects by proxy if you like.

This is awesome: a contest to create diverse and freely licensed (CC-BY) cybersecurity stock photography to replace all the cliche ones of hooded white guys https://www.lawfareblog.com/sorry-state-cybersecurity-imagery

Hey Folks,

Because I've been enjoying the "Mastodon Experience", I went ahead and started another instance.

https://feed.casa is available if you wanted to start a "service account". Examples would be accounts for websites, podcasts, etc.

This instance doesn't offer anything special at the moment, just an alternative instance to create your account on.

This is all still pretty new, so I've got open registration turned off, but please feel free to DM me for an invite.

I feel like I missed some Twitter drama yesterday and I don’t feel any FOMO, but instead, relief.

I’m feeling better by the day about mostly stepping away from there.

why are foxes so fucking cute, but also 99% unable to be pets. grrrr

hi everyone, i'm Erika and i make a horror webcomic called Disorder, you can read it here:

Woke up today, checked the phone, saw it wasn't finding any WIFI around. Rebooted in case it was bugged, still nothing.

Then I got out of bed, looked out of the window, and apparently half of Athens did not had power. 👍

Hey fediverse, I'm going to try to get my brother to join (Mastodon, Pleroma, other....). He would particularly like to discuss #ScienceFiction with other fans. Also #HPLovecraft. Are there instances that would make it particularly easy for him to find other fans? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I've got a new account on my instance https://social.libre.fi. New account is @brainblasted. I will probably be moving there since it is my own instance.

@Laurelai Communication is a major issue for me. Currently from what I know, Mastodon uses a Discord guild to handle chat within the development community, with Patrons getting access. Closing off valuable chat channels to people who pay rubs me the wrong way, and it is especially frustrating that communication is done on a closed, centralized platform. I would hope a fork used something like (preferably) Matrix or IRC, maybe even Mattermost.

So, Matrix is dying. The server is too heavy to run, the protocol is mismanaged , and two of the biggest homeservers (tchncs and weho.st) have closed registrations. Another, disroot, is considering shutting down their HS. At this point, an alternative needs to show up, and soon.

Fractal is considering Fracturing into two apps: Discussions and Messages.

Personally, I disagree with this idea. I prefer to have one app to map with each service. Splitting the applications instead of thinking through a proper design to solve these issues does not seem like the right solution to me. I would like to know what other users think regarding this, and how it would affect their use cases.

If you will, boost so more people can give input.

Just found https://github.com/Plume-org/Plume, an ActivityPub federated blogging platform.

Pretty cool. https://baptiste.gelez.xyz/ is the demo instance.

This is a good article that provides a good understanding of some issues ActivityPub has.

@cwebber have you read this? I would like to hear your take on their points.

I would love it if Mozilla actually used the @mozilla account

It is terrifying how effective dog whistles are, and how few people spot them.
