Like, the #Fediverse probably has only like a dozen or two dozen core developers, max. Everyone else is just a casual volunteer contributor.

@thisismissem That would be nice 🥲

Do remember people, that is currently about $50 a week.

I don't know about the cost of living where Emelia is, but there aren't many countries where you can survive satisfactorily on that amount.

In a couple of months we are into autumn and heating bills go up. There's no sadder sight than a coder trying to keep warm and see by a single candle.

Donate now and Emelia can have two candles ​:ablobboneblewobble:​

For context, at €20/month, I'd only need 250 people supporting me to make my work financially sustainable. At €10/month, it's 500 people.

That's really not that much to contribute on a monthly basis!

(I need net income of €3000/month, but have to factor in freelance taxes & health insurance which adds €1-2k)

@thisismissem Done! Thank you so much for everything you are doing for the fediverse ❤️

Just added this edit to that article after a walk and some food. In some ways, I don't think this should need to be said, but also, I think really does need to be said.

Please don't @ me, I promise I'm not attacking you. If you do think/feel that this could be about you, maybe just quietly commit to doing better?

Keep me working on the Fediverse!

I'll have a piece written soon that'll explain all the different things I'm working on, as a lot of it isn't necessarily visible to most people.

@thisismissem my documentation helped another admin get their Digital Ocean Spaces working

So my good #Fediverse thing for this week was having a kinda crazy idea and being like "what if...?" and then @trwnh and @steve (i think that's him) helping me investigate & explore this idea's viability, and it turns out it's not entirely crazy and it may actually be a very good idea.

That was nice, I learned a lot.

Also nice was getting feedback from the @Mastodon team on some work that had been in flight for a while.

@thisismissem anything related to #BloomScrolling

I love the fact that I can subscribe to a hashtag and have a constant flow of beauty in my feed. I know next to nothing about flowers, but there's something rejuvenating about them.

Like, if you're totally fine with not being able to effectively moderate a server you operate, then by all means, test out #kbin and #lemmy, but encouraging folks to use either en-mass as if they're anywhere near the calibre of Mastodon or Pixelfed* then you're in for a very very bad time.

Alpha software does need alpha users to test and provide feedback, but we should be VERY careful recommending alpha software to mainstream massive audiences as an alternative to $centralisedPlatform.

@thisismissem I'd love to read this report! Maybe there's a reason not to share it here?

@thisismissem @GitHub Wow wtf
