From the neat article about how Mastodon reacted and copped with the appropriation of it's software by a know extremist site (https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/12/20691957/mastodon-decentralized-social-network-gab-migration-fediverse-app-blocking) which I posted about here last night, I discovered another nice one.

A gem indeed. Well written, thought out, focused, humble on its opinions.

I liked the whole article, and can relate it to my own past experiences in different places (BBSes, forums, DC++ hubs, etc) over the years.

Take a bit of time, turn off the distractions (silence notifications!) -- and delve into it.

"Run Your Own Social" is not only a case for starting and keeping a multitude of smaller servers/instances, but also it explains really well why Small is Beautiful and the way to go for best results in a social network, community building sense.

The author is the administrator of a small mastodon instance, and has been a Fellow on the Mozilla Foundation programme for the past year.

Hope you like, it. @salad_bar_breath , this is the one I mentioned a fw minutes ago.

Slept well? 😄

I must say the actress for Hen still did a great job.

Just found this article, an excellent read!

"Over the past few years, Mastodon has become the model for a friendlier kind of social network, promising to keep out the hateful or ugly content that proliferates on larger and more centralized networks. Journalists hailed it as “Twitter without Nazis” and for years, it’s generally lived up to that promise. But last week, the social network Gab migrated to Mastodon — and Mastodon’s admins have been forced to deal with the internet’s Nazi problem head-on."

Gross case of #openwashing

How on Earth did #microsoft manage to have #proprietarysoftware that's mass #surveillance inside businesses framed as "open source"?

Posted this via @realcaseyrollins but you YouTube can't see the post here on Gab. 🤔

hello fediverse! I'm proud to be tootin' from my brand new #Linux laptop. It's a Lenovo 14w that I put #PopOS on. Was relatively easy, and it was certainly a steal at $130.
