  @Nixie @davidrevoy @davidrevoy if you want to, donate to our instance mastodon.de :MastodonDE: https://mastodon.de/@MastodonDE/110808633497349326 But remember: it ain't a requirement! All of our services are free, without ads, without algorithms, and without data harvesting FOREVER! Whether you donate, or not (donating just makes our lives easier :P) @davidrevoy You can also toss a coin to instance you frequently interact with. :coin_animal_crossing: @davidrevoy totally wrong way of running this begging for money to run servers, you could do it so much easier for free. @davidrevoy ok if you want to take over the entire social media landscape, you need to be accessible to everyone, half of this site seems to be autistics and a lot of them i know wont join precisely because of the server stuff. IMO it fragments and confuses, allows these ego kingdoms like reddit mods etc. i will get on to technical stuff. i could envision quite a few different design angles. one network where everyone shares is the optimal solution obv. i would like to see a design doc @davidrevoy i think you could steal some stuff from crypto networks like the theta network, MINA, nodes that communicate chains of info will slow it down a bit, but you could do stuff like mesh nodes phone apps and reduce the bandwidth to nothing. a holistic design that enables true decentralisation would be the optimal. i get that nobodies done it yet, but thats the goal i spose. im not a sysadmin used to scaling but i would run a node on many things if it was dedicated to one network. @davidrevoy and may i say im a complaining git, but i still think its the nicest social network even though someone just told me to fuckoff lol. @davidrevoy also i think names are important for branding and im not going to hold back here, fediverse sounds totally stupid, im never going to say fediverse to anyone after this post. i just feel like an idiot saying it. @davidrevoy my mistake i thought you were someone that actually worked on this if anyone knows who programmed this mess let me know and im going to give them it. @davidrevoy Looks awesome! I know it's CC-BY 4 but I wanted to ask whether we can use it as a donation "ad" for mastodon.de nonetheless. Of, course you'd be credited. @Hinterhaltiger 🙂 Sure! Thanks for reusing my art.

MastoGeralt has the cutest smile, Geralt would never smile like this ^^ @Petit_Lutin Merci! 😍 Ha oui, je m'en souviens maintenant. C'était cool! Oh yes for MastoGeralt smiling. I hesitated with this one. During the pencil step, I remember I sketched two or three badass expression to test. 😆 @davidrevoy Un crossover Witcher/Masto, je ne savais pas j'en avais besoin, mais j'ADORE ! 🤩  |
