jaz@mastodon.iftas.org see you there!!

reiver@mastodon.social admirable, and if the economics work out to support this, that'd fantastic! Worried that you may have too many people coming for free though

Yeeeeeeaaahhh! €55k done, let's max it out in the next 30 hours Peertube is going places!

Very interesting article! I have immense respect for jerry@infosec.exchange, he was one of the first people I found on the fediverse, and it's no wonder why, he's revered quite highly by others as being a generous and kind admin. I do want to point out one thing, and that is that Mastodon has some design decisions that make it rather resource and storage intensive. There are oodles of lighter software out there, some with even more features than Mastodon, and some with less. For example, snac.bsd.cafe (https://snac.bsd.cafe/) runs on Snac, which is fast as hell. I am going to guess that a not insignificant portion of Jerry's bill is caching assets. Mastodon likes to save everything it encounters, videos, images, avatars, everything... forever (though I imagine this is customisable). Most likely the assets are viewed a handful of times in one day and never seen again... but you'll pay to store it forever!

Thanks! It's something that I personally feel is more performant and future proof for other important things like private discussions (which Mastodon also doesn't support natively yet — mention spamming doesn't count.)

melroy@kbin.melroy.org oh sorry to hear that hopefully Dan hasn't moved on from FediDB already.

liaizon@social.wake.st are the long emoji horizontal or vertical? The former is easier to support (setting just a max height), but the latter has concerns re: line height. cc silverpill@mitra.social

@pfefferle Wow, danke für das super Video! Für mich ist das Fediverse noch ganz neu, hab jetzt mein Blog föderiert und mir einen Account bei Mastodon erstellt. Fühle mich noch etwas verloren, aber bin überzeugt auf dem richtigen Weg zu sein
