Are there any more details on the blog aspect to it? Does every account get the ability to pay longer posts at a related url with a shortened #fediverse post (500 characters including link to blog post)?

@tchambers @timbray

Some people would struggle with even $50 per year, so it will cause a degree of digital gentrification. Some people will be excluded because of economic class and not character or ability to contribute to discourse. That might be necessary but it's not ideal.

Thank you @tchambers
for promoting a coop. there is also social.coop. And the members know a lot about coops.

I am most interested in turning @UncensoredNews into a coop.

I met some wonderful people from there at the #fediconf.

@tchambers @NetNewsWire
#Proposal5 at Tesla will make Elon Musk prove he is still fit to run either Tesla or Twitter....

@tchambers @jwherrman This is why I’m thankful for open protocols.

@tchambers it's already popular!

@tchambers @gunchleoc
I've been collecting trolls and bots on a twitter list called Defenders. If y'all want to go and mass block people on that list, you're welcome to. The list includes well known US Nazis. @shoq

@tchambers
I also liked the post where a former twitter guy was saying that twitter runs on high profile celebrities. That's not what we're about here, so that's an easy distinction. They are passive engagement. We are active engagement.

@tchambers @atomicpoet If anyone still needs more proof that Mastodon has reached a self-sufficient critical mass, boy do I have a real life case study to show them.

@tchambers “It’s entirely open for innovation, and innovators are building furiously as we speak. By its nature, it’s permanently locked open for innovation, and there is no danger of ever getting cut off from an API, facing sudden connection charges or drawing the wrath of a gazillionaire.”

@tchambers

Agreed. I’m never going back to corporate, centralized social media. Honestly, I find it difficult to understand why anyone would at this point. It’s so clear now how much time is spent gaming/circumventing the algorithm. Such a waste of effort.

@tchambers Hi Tim, might be interesting for @dashboard as well?

@tchambers It's honestly cool that no one uses Diaspora for that. Or it's not considered as an alternative for that.

@tchambers Sometimes the simplest #dataviz is the best, right down to the default Office 2017 colors scheme! Super clear, colorblind-accessible, and easy to understand.

@tchambers This is great. Any thought about using something other then Google Docs for this? @cryptpad has a good solution that is much less privacy invasive...

@tchambers It would be helpful to post links with all of these for any pointers to how to write your own bots.

@donkersgoed Would love to see AWS Blog bot in this list :)

@tchambers or, technically, failed to.

@tchambers @neilhimself and tumblr proves yet again why its the only place that can match (if not surpass) the irreverence of the-site-that-shall-not-be-named

@tchambers for people who want to avoid "dark, seriously dark" LiveJournal early days, the author posted a followup thread about the bare minimum to look for in new sites. Lots to think about here: https://twitter.com/rahaeli/status/1594756281650524160 .

@tchambers Thank you Tim for all you do (much of which I can’t even guess at - very grateful for your efforts and this instance!)

@tchambers I knew being a #fidonet coordinator would come in handy in the future! 😂😂 #bbs #remoteaccess #dbridge #echomail #nocarrier

@tchambers #infosec too

@tchambers

When the botanists join, you know your platform is really blooming.

I'll see myself out.

@tchambers Do you have, or plan to have, a whitelist or blacklist? Isn't there any peering protocol to avoid connecting to the federation to instances that misuse it?

@tchambers I knew it was just a matter of time before the fascists try to get to us.

@tchambers Thank you!

@tchambers oh no

@tchambers

This is amazing, now tell him to get WordPress comments and other features to integrate with activity pub as well and I can connect all my social media and inter-share.

That is the future of my dreams.

@tchambers It's going to be very interesting to see how instance admins who defederate from mastodon.social because it's "too big" would handle Tumblr with its 300 mil MAU federating

@tchambers anything that supports the open web deserves a boost.

@tchambers This is why it seems weird to me that RSS isn't already integrated. I'd *like* to move all my RSS feeds over 😃

@tchambers Keep it up!

@tchambers Thank you!

@tchambers this is actually a pretty cool list you've got going. cheers!

@tchambers There's an error for Taylor Lorenz, just a tiny typo. @taylorlorenz.mastodon.social instead of @taylorlorenz

@tchambers 🖤🖤🖤🖤

@tchambers lol right
