Hmm, only 26 followers after being on Mastodon since November 2022? Ok, here is my intro again: (ex) Full stack web developer with Bread and Roses Creative, full time artist (now) and food critic (currently) with Chuck Eats KC. Kansas City-based web dev since the dawn of browsers (1995). Focus these days is one creative stuff: writing, food criticism, photography, streaming, art, and making fun videos.#Artists#Intros#Writers#FoodCritics#Fediverse#WebDev
Hey @MDN, with Stack Overflow’s ongoing community implosion, now would be an excellent time to launch MDN Answers so people have a better place to help each other learn.
I don't fully understand the point of Pixelfed. I've used it a couple times, but always end up abandoning it. I like the pictures, but I can just view them here on Mastodon. I was even following most of the same accounts since it's all federated anyway.
There are clients for Mastodon with gallery views and you can set feeds to media only. Pixelfed felt entirely redundant to me, and I couldn't find a use case.
Most forks fail because you need a core developer to maintain the project
There are dozens of misskey forks, and most of them fail after a few months or a year (calckey ->firefish)
You can't just fork something and live off hopes and dreams
This is why I believe it's in my best interest as the core maintainer of Pixelfed to work with our community as much as possible to eliminate the need for a fork
Such a vibe when you reach this, I love it, fuck egos, we all equals, lets goooo 🚀
#Threads wants to be the best place where people have relevant, public, real-time conversations, and the #fediverse is the means by which people can find the audiences that are best for those conversations, because not all of them will be on Threads.
The fediverse is a compelling way for creators to own their audiences in a way they aren't able to own on other apps today.
Rachel: people have more choice when their apps integrate with the [#fediverse]. They get to go where the rules are that align most with their values, and they get to vote with their feet.
Also exciting from the product development perspective: if you don't have to build your own [social] graph, you get to spend more time on cool functionality.
Now that the #Fediverse grows and grows, I'm more and more convinced, that the best way to access it, doesn't yet exist. There is no way of really experiencing the diversity right now.
Someone asked how they can publish videos on PeerTube (the Fediverse's video platform). There's a guide to publishing on PeerTube here, it includes suggestions for where to sign up (and also how to make your own server if you prefer):
"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. ... There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."
It's hard to imagine #StackOverflow made their decision without considering the fate #Twitter and #Reddit suffered. That they willingly chose to burn the remaining goodwill they had with their users is bewildering.
Genocide apologist are safe and welcome at #mastodon dot social. This person has dedicated their time to harass, lie and libel the @palestine They keep spreading proven lies as the "beheaded babies" and "mass rapes" (there's zero evidence of either), yet Mastodon dot social mods don't do anything about this obvious troll, while they ban pro-Palestine accounts.
@trankten No se que podemos hacer ante eso, pero espero que si es cierto que se ha vendido a Meta le espero que le pase lo mismo que "hizo" el con #GNUsocial cuando dejo Ostatus y puso ActivityPub. El #fediverse como bien sabes es muy grande.
Ideas to build a federated StackExchange alternative ( ioc.exchange )
