If i write a replacement to mastodon from scratch what language should i pick that woukd make it kost likely that you woukd contribute to the project?

I made this out of Kingwood and got a really nice grain match across the cap and the body!

@freemo I know you like fountain pens (or at least calligraphy), what do you think?

How is it i never heard of bonfire, which appears to be a activitypub server similar to mastodon....

Creatives (including game developers) and engineers (including software developers) agree: get a minimal rough draft out there ASAP, then iterate.

The difference is in how stable each iteration has to be. This is what makes video game development so much harder than tabletop: changing a design idea is really expensive.

A waterfall I went to see with my mom and girlfriend here in Thailand. It was quite beautiful despite the tourist rigging all around it.

Qoto has a little workaround where you can 'keep' those connections from your end. Follow _and_ subscribe to them. If there's a brief (accidental) suspension, you're still seeing them via subscription. They won't be following you anymore, of course. But at least you could see who you're not following anymore (as the follow icon won't be colored).

I'm contemplating doing that to all I follow. :P You won't be seeing stuff double or anything that I've seen.

Apparently it was either a mistake or an over eager moderator. Either way I poke to stux and he reversed the suspension and apologized for the mistake.

@stux Any word on why mstdn.social blocked qoto recently.. they added the following reasaon, which makes no sense, what is going on over there:

"Objects to the fediblock process and claims that it should be put to a "democratic vote" weighted by instance size, and his just happens to be the largest."

Your mods going rogue over there or something?

re: Announcing the Oliphant Social BlocklistS (plural!) 

@oliphant@oliphant.social we are mostly in agreement about needing a good block list for most new servers..

What gets me is the very low quality choices on the council, nonrequirement for receipts or any way for users to effectively research blocks, and the fact that notorious instances like rage.love known to lie and manipulate to encoirage their block list on others, makes for a bad aggregate list.

Getting 50 servers on the council could potentially address the server, but if a list of 50 servers has the same poor quality members as the 10 you have now then you will have the same problem.

I think if you want to solve the problem then the solution is not to simply have more servers on the council but rather have criteria for what servers can be on the council. Id rather have 3 server council that has well maintained receipts and transparency around their receipt process than 100 servers all hand picked to look like rage.love with few receipts and a bad reputation for abusing their block list.

The best solution is to build a receipts database and ensure any participating server must have receipts on a block throuvh the receipts server in order for the bloxk to be calculated at all. At least then users of thr blocklist will have the tools to do their own due dilligance

@freemo @realcaseyrollins its probably safe to just say when liberals existed.

i saw old liberal commentators last night talking about how the current institutions are largely neofascist wearing liberal robes.

I still don't know who he is and now I care even less.

Instead, let's talk about how to implement a fair tax system:

@freemo

Man the rights obsession with genetalia is getting a bit out of hand...

@cambridgeport90 @freemo I mean, he was asked point blank about forking #Mastodon, and kinda acted like that’d never happened before
