Pretty major #Vivaldi update on #Windows, #Mac and #Linux. This time the focus is on a major code rewrite, which facilitates faster window opening and overall easier codebase to work with. You can read about it here!

@jon @thomasp @Hlini @isak @Gargron @renchap Very interesting. Very stressful! Great to read how you went from anything could be wrong to here's what's actually wrong.

@jon @thomasp @Hlini @isak @Gargron @renchap I could imagine this like some CIA movie when something goes wrong on a mission

RIP Twitter. The birds will now fly away. Some might fly here. Please be welcoming.

Now is the time to invite your friends to join your #Mastodon server, whether it is Vivaldi Social or any other server. Feel free to invite them to other #fediverse services as well.

They may need some handholding in the beginning. Be kind and show them the ropes.

Please welcome our new members!

At Opera we built MyOpera, a community site focused on serving the Opera community. It reached 35 million users and 35 million monthly visitors.

After I left Opera, MyOpera was dismantled and Opera went for Facebook and Twitter instead.

At @Vivaldi , we have built Vivaldi.net, with more than 1 million active accounts so far.

We have now made our own Vivaldi Social Mastodon server.

When you make your own server, you are more in control.

Are people learning?

@jon @Vivaldi To get #NPR’s attention, we on Mastodon need to contact them directly to tell them why the #Fediverse is so spiffy. Here’s a link to their Contact Us form:

@jon @Vivaldi I hope universities and public orgs join this soon.

@jon Hey! Please support my petition (check pinned post in my profile). We are asking companies, media outlets (such as NPR, BBC and etc), celebrities and etc join Mastodon.

@Vivaldi @jon Would be great if you folks can help boost and support this initative!

It is time for the #BBC and #NPR to set up shop on #Mastodon. Same applies to all other serious news institutions.

They should set up their own servers. They have the means to do so and it just makes sense.

I suspect that there are rules about what the #BBC can and cannot do, with respect to this, as well as political obstacles from the government. The BBC has a bit of a history of getting ahead of the commercial competition on technology only to be reined in by government pressure.

Then there's the distinction between the BBC itself and subsidiaries like BBC Studios.

Totally off topic, but I tagged my question a couple of days ago with #Vivaldi and didn't get any good answers. I hope you have one.

Why on earth is Vivaldi's on-board search engine when freshly installed Bing????

@jon

If anyone here still has a Twitter account, they should tweet that toot and tag them both. BBC just got tagged "government sponsored media" and they are LIVID. I think we all have historical experience with angry Englishmen 😅

Happy to see that @mozilla will be joining @Vivaldi on #Mastodon. The more that join, the better. Every organization and media company should be setting up shop on Mastodon. First with an account, then with an instance.

@jon @Vivaldi @mozilla

I disagree Jon.

I'm happy to see that Mozilla will be joining us here in the #Fediverse too, and it's fine that they chose mastodon as the Fediverse platform they'll initially use, but i disagree with you that entities should make their Fediverse platform of choice a "mastodon" branding.

There are many others that are arguably so much better to choose from.

@ruario and I had previously discussed this and though I was a bit harsh, he did agree promoting Fediverse best
