It remains amazing that you’re all here with me on this group of websites that all talk to each other

Reminder: You are the dreams of dead stars.

everything is "you should use kubernetes"

I do not want to use kubernetes

The more people we can get using adblockers, the better the internet will be for everyone.

Do your part: help get adblockers installed today.

people who are opining that Facebook joining the fedi is okay didn't live through Google killing XMPP. Or anything Microsoft ever did.

If you're attending NDA'd meetings with a malevolent advertising company, maybe consider that you are not on the side of the users.

“How will fedi survive now that whatever new techbro bullshit has come out”

It survives because of a bunch of admins want it to survive and will keep on wanting it to survive.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Oh just learned that the Mammoth app on iOS for Mastodon is VC-backed.

So, yeah, don't use that one.

If there's any marginalised people in AU/NZ that need a new home in the wake of the mastodon.lol shutdown, sing out, Cloud Island would be happy to host you.

If you can please boost this. 🙂

I should launch a journalism-but-no-transphobia instance

And I am the arbiter of what is transphobia

Me: I'm totally going to make an aaS Mastodon product!

My chronic illness and fatigue: We are going to get in your way every step of the day until you consider giving up because you just can't make progress on any of the things you know are important

Me: But ... I ... but this is important ...

Chronic illness and fatigue: Yeah well fuck you girl

You are the loving, hoping, caring, wishing, living, breathing dreams of dead stars.

Dream well for them.

oh no is "admins can read your DMs" becoming a thing again

I can barely manage to read my own DMs, you think I'm going to go and write software so I can read yours?

"I had hoped for more tolerance of bigotry on the fediverse!" exclaims local bigot, surprised at the resistance to bigotry on the fediverse

In about 30 minutes, RNZ will be doing a piece about Mastodon. You can stream it from https://www.rnz.co.nz, if you're so inclined.

No one said I can't announce it, so, I'm going to be on this show 😄

I feel really bad for all the small admins getting crushed by the sudden explosion of Mastodon interest

If you're looking at Sidekiq scaling issues, this blog post talks about how you should scale by more Sidekiq processes, not more threads:

Welcome to the Fediverse. It's nice here!

Remember to report horrible things, your admins and mods can and will deal with it.

Don't try to "grow your brand" here, the Fedi doesn't really work like that. Virality doesn't really happen. It's nice!

Connect with people. Make new friendships. Just be, in a place that respects you as a human.
