@maiyannah @jessiscah that's probably a good sign. Practicality is the aim. -

when i see how so many tech journos flock to technology they don't remotely understand (gnusocial/mastodon), i gain clarity as to why they all squirt so hard over apple products.

@xj9 @nepfag @bksmgglr my 2 cents worth is this. With the latest influx of Twitter refugees it is pretty clear that the desire for independent internet services not beholden to advertisers and where emphasis is on the users rather than the whims of share holders is quite real. So in terms of business there probably is opportunity for things like sponsoring a server or selling server hardware with the relevant software preinstalled. The conventional wisdom from the dot com years was that users wouldn't pay for internet services, but it might be that sufficient time has passed that this is no longer true. Certainly the down sides to funding everything with advertising is much more apparent now than it was in the previous decade. -

@lnxw48a1 captchas are a failed technology. Usually I can't solve them. So if you have a captcha as part of login or signup you're just building in inaccessibility. -

@schestowitz There have been a few influxes of users from Twitter previously, but I think this is the biggest so far. -

@schestowitz no, but it looks OK. I tend to stick to the fully libre distros these days. -

@schestowitz ALPR is the least of it. I used to work on automotive software, and Surveillance Capital is coming. Monitoring that you can't turn off. -

@archaeme the only problem with omemo/otr keys is that on mobile I don't know of a way to back them up. Conversations needs a backup and restore. -

@schestowitz that's horrendous. Zinn was a pretty good historian. The US has a lot of history which they may prefer to airbrush out. -

Some !pleroma news, we're going to do a release later today, which will (at least) include speed fixes, word filter based notice muting (e.g. filtering 'mastodon' to stop all the meta talk) and visual fixes for attachments. -
