> I can’t tell you how angry this makes me feel for this maintainer. I don’t know who Jigar Kumar is, or what the motivation was behind the emails that the author is referencing, but I can tell you if I was trying to get a bad actor in as a trusted developer, this is how I would approach it. Good post.

We need a system that pays people based on adoption of their project. A system that moves us towards an honest to God meritocracy. This getting paid to sell other people's stuff, pollute, and steal others effort thing sucks. If only it was so simple.

@jerry Wow. That is a great piece. Thanks for sharing, which I will, now, as well.

This is by far the worst spam campaign I’ve seen in my 7 years here on the fediverse

@jerry *Homer from the back of the room* Worst spam campaign so far. 😬

@jerry If it helps, I've seen way more discussion about how terrible this spam wave is than any actual spam 🤷🏻♂️

@jerry what are the metrics, assuming if 1% of users donated $1/month, it would more than cover everything?

Hey, @trending_bot is pretty cool. It boosts the trending posts from a some top instances. I know some people have asked for algorithmic feeds - it's certainly not the same, but it will help get trending things in your home timeline that might not otherwise land there.

@jerry @trending_bot I already look at "trending" occasionally so I don't think this would add anything (unless something is trending on "some top instances" but not my instance).

I had plans on this #caturday but my boss had other plans that involve my lap

The point you are missing is that many Mastodonians WANT the drama. It is a powerful distraction. It gets them away from things they don't want to do, it gets them away from boredom. If they are rageaholics it makes them feel temporarily powerful too.

@jerry fully agree. i think "be like bill" is still accurate these days?

Apparently unlike the leader of another social media network, I have never turned off satellites to thwart the military operations of one of my country’s allies in their attempt to defend themselves against an aggressor.

“Is mastodon like twitter?” “No, not at all. Mastodon is still a thing.”

@jerry Mastodon is not Twitter, but I think we need to add some UX/UI solution of Twitter for apps and web version

Dear fediverse: someone being a “furry” does not warrant a report. If you don’t like furries, there is a handy option to block or mute people. Thank you for your attention.

@jerry "Tell the 'verse you're new around here without telling the 'verse you're new around here." :itsaliens: 😂 When I first set up a mastodon account some years ago, manga/anime and furries were basically the core of the content 😄

@jerry it should be the culture here that if you are getting benefit and enjoyment here, to find if your admin has Patreon or something similar and sign up to give a couple buck or more monthly. The whole reason there are no ads and no algorithms is because of the servers, internet, etc. that the admins maintain. Don't be a #schnorrer with the admins!

I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

@jerry @ernest Kbin on the other hand feels more polished. It needs work, definitely, but you can feel the potential when you use it. Thanks to all the devs out there working to build the future. Who knew it's what we'd need in 2023 😂

Not to alarm anyone, but fedia.io is growing faster than infosec.exchange did after twitter-gate... I clearly need to start thinking about scaling
