As this instance (and Mastodon as a whole) goes from strength to strength, I think it might be time to kill all my other social accounts. Facebook went a while ago, but maybe itβs time for the others to follow. Namely Twitter and G+.
@codesections great post, thoroughly enjoyed it and I like the fact the take the time to explain how Mastodon works. That was definitely something I found confusing at first. Nice work.
Unfortunately, Fosstodon will no longer be accepting donations via LiberaPay.
We want to thank everyone who has donated via LiberaPay over the last few months, but due to the current instability with their services, we will be suspending donations until further notice.
If you still want to donate to Fosstodon, you can do so via Patreon and PayPal:
@phil how strange. I'll give it a try, although I'm not sure how comfortable I am trusting my entire DHCP to a Raspberry Pi. I suppose its a quick fix of it breaks though...thanks!
@mooshoe we've always been with Masto.host. It was a conscious decision when I first started, as I've run projects before and the admin work just saps the fun out of it. This way, I can enjoy the community and the awesome @hugo does all the clever stuff.
Federation with other instances just takes time as your users start to follow people. If you don't have many users, you could consider implementing a follow not, but they're a double edged sword as many don't like them.
@lx that's what I though. We just processed a withdrawal because of the issues they're having with their payment system and we were charged over 17%. I wish that was a typo, but no, SEVENTEEN PERCENT.
@ChrisWere@brotherballan Iβve been with FastMail for around 6 months now and I couldnβt be happier. The service is excellent.
When I first signed up, I thought it was fairly expensive (five bucks a month), but then I realised - I spend more than that on coffee and lunch every day!
