It'd be cool if all the Brands™️ went off to make their own bubble on the fediverse.

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

Optimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.

A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, it’s a design failure. (It’s a design success in #BigTech.)

@aral Personally, I've been working on making efficient p2p database indexes and finding a way to represent ActivityStreama in them so that we can start bridging between fedi and p2p. 🥰

Are there some "weird twitter"-like fedi accounts I should follow?

Low key wanna build a minimal mastodon client and publish it on the p2p web. :x

Peep the 7 min mark where I try to do a live coding demo and have to sit on the floor to try to see the screen. 🤪

Also, here's another talk I did at Camp 2022 on

My nose was kinda congested and I was going on 4 hours of sleep as usual so I'm glad I managed to get it working at all. 😂

Main takeaway is that I think this web stuff is important for creating resilient software in the face of global climate change and political turmoil.

@cblgh lol, it was a bit tough NGL. 😅 But to be fair, one of the talks was a duplicate of the other, just in different tracks.

Here's my talk on what is at Camp 2022!

I was the third talk I was doing in as many hours so excuse me if I was a bit tired. :P

Still pretty happy with how it turned out.

Just started watching "The Shivering Truth" and PFFR delivers as always. 💜 It's like a waking nightmare.

I know there's some software out there for mirroring twitter feeds, but is there anyone out there setting that up as a service? I don't have time to mess around with setting stuff up but I'd really like more of my twitter feed mirrored to my mastodon feed.

A thread: Job openings in programming and ops in open source software/research, developing frameworks for distributed applications, working with @cwebber at the Spritely Institute: octodon.social/@cwebber/109202

I think the universe is telling me to do something with lisp 🥲

One of my nose piercings fell out some time in the last 14 hours and I have no clue where it could be. 🙃

@am@decept.org It's okay if you don't mind waiting months for stuff to ship. I got some cheap electronics on there like my USB monitor
