I'm afraid that I still don't speak Spanish so the lively discussions going on in my mentions for the past few hours are lost on me.

@Gargron Well some of us talk english so feel free to ask anything 😅

Una visión soviética

@Gargron I think you should try a little, at least using a translator before closing an account happily.
Thank you

Eugen Rochko

Since this seems to be a point of confusion, while I personally do not speak Spanish, other members of the moderation team on mastodon.social do.

Sex worker raises $700k for the Australian Bush Fires by offering nudes against proof of donations, Instagram suspends her account.

@Gargron That is terrible. Instagram doesn't care about helping people in need, especially at a time like this.

Catástrofe Ultravioleta

@Gargron Pues vosotros suspendéis cuentas de mujeres feministas por hablar de biología.
Hipócritas :blobcat:

@Gargron if there was a viable "Instadon" I suspect a few folks from IG would move or use for content that IG 'filters' for stupidly.

I think it's kinda weird that the president of the US gets to stay on Twitter after threatening war crimes and cyberbullying children because his tweets are "of public interest" but the president of Syria gets banned...

Not that I'm sympathetic, but it does seem hypocritical and highlights the issues with social media that's controlled by a single US company. Why do they get to enforce their own interests worldwide?

@Gargron you had to expect this after Twitter invited to the White House and read the Riot Act for limiting the president's news feed and users.

Eugen Rochko

Interesting. Twitter is automatically suspending accounts that tweet an image consisting of a black background with the white text "No war on Iran" on it.

@Gargron i really believe that comes from the fuc*y buggy algorithm they use. And I'm really experienced about having my accounts cancelled...three at the moment.

@Gargron That's called silencing people who don't want a WW3.

@Gargron FYI, Iran has been at war with the US since 1979. We finally have a president that is going to do something for their murderous acts.

Finished #TheExpanse season 4. It was good. I hope the next one will be soon.

@Gargron My favorite! I was so happy when they un-cancelled it for the fourth season!

@Gargron Die Dreharbeiten zur fünften Staffel laufen schon – und zwar zum selben Zeitpunkt wie damals bei Staffel 4, nämlich im Oktober. Es spricht also eigentlich nichts dagegen, dass die nächste Season dann Ende 2020 auf Amazon Prime Video bereitgestellt wird. Und es gäbe dann noch vier weitere Bücher als Vorlagen für vier weitere Seasons 🙂

So I've been using the BunnyCDN trial on mastodon.social's CSS/JS assets for a day and it's got this neat table which data centres the bandwidth goes to. Since CSS/JS assets load mostly only during the first page load on the site, this roughly corresponds to where our new users come from:

@Gargron
And it will probably grow due to the constant migration of users from Twitter. How this will affect to the current social media scenario? No one knows, but I think it can be a inflexion point, also in the awareness about the importance of software libre. 😉

@Gargron Wow, that's a lot of traffic CSS and JS

Hello Mastodon! It is me, awake at last, shifting ever so forward in time

@Gargron Good morning!

(I don't care what time it is. Any time I wake up, I call morning.)

@Gargron now that's a mood. let us shift forward in time together

In the ranking of the best TV show opening sequences, The Expanse has gotta be up there

@Gargron I'll watch the expanse after your recommendation

Bert Latamore

@Gargron My wife, Moire,& I are new to The Expanse. We are watching the first season on demand right now. Planetary Radio did a blog on it recently that got me interested. So far we are hooked.

@Gargron
What about Mission Impossible or Thunderbirds?!

Eugen Rochko

Ah, looks like the trends on mastodon.social were stuck for a day, fixed them now.

elcoso

@Gargron You need more promo bro. I mean it is a good social network, in my opinion better than Twitter but you need people

Barkeeper Tom :damnified:

@Gargron how did you fix it? I'm having the same problem with trends. 😬

Eugen Rochko

I'm trying out BunnyCDN for mastodon.social's CSS/JS assets, see if it makes the website load times noticably faster for users further away from Germany or not.

Let me know how it feels!

Although this isn't something that would typically be noticable for regular users anyway. It's mostly about that very first page load.

Paul

@Gargron I don't have any "before" times to compare it to, but even after a cache clear, it's loading hella fast here in the western US.

Iuri Guilherme

@Gargron users could still test it by issuing SHIFT+F5 to the browser. They would have to test it without a CDN to tell the difference, however.

My favourite character from the Expanse has gotta be Bobby

Defund cops, fund social work

@Gargron I was thinking about who was my favorite and all I could think of for sure was that my least favorite is the main character, whose name I cannot recall after watching 4 seasons of the show

Dicky Fishbags

@Gargron seriously mate? I find her unconvincing, sticks out... I just dont believe that shes hardcore.
