Of course, it's a great video and a great world :blobaww:

@mastohost @LogicalDash @u @support

Thank you!

@LogicalDash @u

On the other hand, someone adds at the end "Didn't these guys drop the hosting for your instance or something?" so it sounds like they overstepped the mark?

Hiya @mastohost , are you able to clarify the situation?

@u @LogicalDash @mastohost @support

Masto.host and mastodon.host are two totally different sites, they just have similar names.

Can people be clear which site they mean here?

Masto host and mastodon.host are two totally different things.

Thank you!

@DHeadshot

I think Spacebear do Peertube on request.

I don't know of any other Fediverse managed hosting services.

@LogicalDash

I don't know of any other managed hosting services for Mastodon.

It would be great to give people more choice, but I can only list alternatives that exist :blobsad:

Ok, thanks to everyone who answered 👍

iPhone people,

Just wanted to check a couple of things:

-Are there any security updates for older iPhones that can't run the current iOS version?

-Is an older iPhone safe to use if it no longer supports the current iOS version?

@0x1C3B00DA @dansup

Pleroma and Misskey don't have the kind of friendly onboarding that Mastodon has with JoinMastodon.org etc.

As for including all options, there are already lots of sites that just list everything regardless (such as AlternativeTo). There's no point me duplicating them.

I'm trying to do something which is aimed specifically at non-techs, because no one else is doing it.

@dansup

They seem to be aimed more at people with prior tech knowledge (IMHO).

I'm mainly trying to cater to a mainstream non-tech audience.

@perflyst @Readlebee @inventaire

Not yet, it's only just started! :blobsmile:

@doctorsidrat

LibraryThing sold 40% of itself to Abebooks, then Amazon bought Abebooks... :blobsad:

This is the risk when indies sell stakes of themselves to others, they may have no idea where the stake will end up.

In case you missed it...

@izaya

It's scary how difficult it is to avoid big tech now 😬

I guess they could try switching to @Minetest and (if it gets finished) the streaming option on PeerTube?

Maybe you could read it from the Archive backup?
