re infosec.exchange
I don't know about a list, but there's this service, of unknown quality: https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=qoto.org
I usually double check if it's a instance I'm curious about, usually but not always listed in their about page.
re infosec.exchange
I guess people are upset that the feds are creating an account on the infosec.exchange instance. But in any case, maybe consider a different instance? octodon.social has a block list a mile long, I'm surprised I can even follow you since qoto.org is on it. It probably means this post won't reach you, sadly.
@freemo tbh it’s just an excuse to feed our gobs. The original meaning has been lost like Christmas and nobody wants to really think about it. If they do they drown it with alcohol. It’s murica. Yeeha!
@jxf
I believe that if you don't like the moderation policy of your instance you should move. The only drawback (that I know about) to a smaller instance is the local feed will be less busy. However if you select a instance aligned to your interests, it will have more interesting posts. So hachyderm sounds about right from what I know about you.
@tschak
This guide to reducing exe sizes also explains each reduction.

@Psyklone Arduino dev environment is C++, although it's been simplified as far as build environment. Given your interest in microcontrollers, sounds like a good place to start.

A recent Salon article lists 5 potential problems during a mass migration from Twitter to Mastodon:
Despite the silly headline (we would hope it doesn't become a new Twitter) would anyone be interested in commenting on any or all of these 5?
" 1. ... finding a server to join on Mastodon can be hard, especially when a flood of people trying to find servers leads to the creation of waitlists, and the rules and values of the people running a server aren't always easy to find.
2. ... there are significant financial and technical challenges with maintaining servers that grow with the number of members and their activity. After the honeymoon is over, Mastodon users should be prepared for membership fees, NPR-style fundraising campaigns or podcast-style promotional ads to cover server hosting costs that can go into the hundreds of dollars per month per server.
3. ... despite calls for newspapers, universities and governments to host their own servers, there are complicated legal and professional questions that could severely limit public institutions' abilities to moderate their "dorms" effectively. Professional societies with their own methods of verification and established codes of conduct and ethics may be better equipped to host and moderate Mastodon servers than other types of institutions.
4. ... the current "nuclear option" of servers entirely cutting ties with other servers leaves little room for repairing relations and reengagement. Once the tie between two servers is severed, it would be difficult to renew it. This situation could drive destabilizing user migrations and reinforce polarizing echo chambers.
5. ... there are tensions between longtime Mastodon users and newcomers around content warnings, hashtags, post visibility, accessibility and tone that are different from what was popular on Twitter."
That's true about the last three, octodon even blocks fosstodon.org, I dunno why anyone would be one it.
I'm going from the list from
https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=qoto.org
I don't know how it gathers it's information, but hachyderm.io is still on it, which has people I really want to follow. I will remain patient though and hope things work out.
@ambulocetus Frenchy!
@RetroGrouch Not the rust I was looking for, but you get a follow anyway!
@fasterthanlime How's that look?
How about I go on a hunger strike until Mastodon lets me quote posts, would that work? What's the greater evil there, huh? The occasional dunk, or ...
@dpiponi then again it’s quite buggy. Just tried again and got nothing. Lol.
@dpiponi Often their name is enough if they have it in their profile. Also a part of the handle should work. I was able to find you by searching for piponi since you don’t have your name in your profile.
@Tigerburn Excellent! You will like it here.
Drinking the after-mentioned beverage tonight, I sometimes wonder if I am the only one at the center of the venn diagram of #rust #emacs, #progressive, #bebop and #lagavulin, if not let me know. We can probably be friends.
@timClicks Who's our cult leader? Who's our god?
