Do you help run a federated or decentralised service in Europe -- or know someone who does? Please pass this link on. It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented. I worry about a backroom deal struck between Facebook/Google that excludes the next generation of open Net services: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/organisation-stakeholder-dialogue-application-article-17-directive-copyright-digital-single .. Please speak up!

Masto.host and mastodon.host are two totally different sites, they just have similar names.
Can people be clear which site they mean here?
switching.social
Thank you!

I think Spacebear do Peertube on request.
I don't know of any other Fediverse managed hosting services.

I don't know of any other managed hosting services for Mastodon.
It would be great to give people more choice, but I can only list alternatives that exist :blobsad:

iPhone people,
Just wanted to check a couple of things:
-Are there any security updates for older iPhones that can't run the current iOS version?
-Is an older iPhone safe to use if it no longer supports the current iOS version?
switching.social
Pleroma and Misskey don't have the kind of friendly onboarding that Mastodon has with JoinMastodon.org etc.
As for including all options, there are already lots of sites that just list everything regardless (such as AlternativeTo). There's no point me duplicating them.
I'm trying to do something which is aimed specifically at non-techs, because no one else is doing it.
switching.social
They seem to be aimed more at people with prior tech knowledge (IMHO).
I'm mainly trying to cater to a mainstream non-tech audience.

LibraryThing sold 40% of itself to Abebooks, then Amazon bought Abebooks... :blobsad:
This is the risk when indies sell stakes of themselves to others, they may have no idea where the stake will end up.

In case you missed it...

It's scary how difficult it is to avoid big tech now 😬
I guess they could try switching to @Minetest and (if it gets finished) the streaming option on PeerTube?

@jesse_m @Readlebee @inventaire
Yup, they avoid mentioning Amazon in the Goodreads branding.
Amazon owns many popular book and non-book companies:
Abebooks
Audible
Book Depository
BookFinder.com
Comixology
Goodreads
IMDB
LibraryThing (40%)
Ring
Twitch
Whole Foods Market
and many, many others :blobsad:
