@kissane there are cultural differences on the various networks, to be sure, but negotiating THAT is a conversation that actually goes somewhere.
Being someone who only uses PNG – and only communicates with people who also use PNG – because it's somehow a better technology? The sooner we can get past that particular phase of all of this, the better.
As @polotek started with, the reasons people choose one network over another are just so unrelated to technology it's not even funny.
:skull360: We have now successfully upgraded to v4.3.0-alpha.4+mementomods-2024-06-01. The server has Mastodon Bird UI 2.0.0rc37 installed with no further changes at this time in the UI.
The branch is now synced and up-to-date and 38 commits ahead from the last version 2024-05-26.
I love running the newest version so I can test ahead in production for the upcoming Mastodon Bird UI versions. I do have my local instance with the production db, but it is far more fun this way and it feels good to have new things.
This "testing in live" is also because it's the perfect way to make sure that I can help contributing to Mastodon and spot bugs before they end up in the final rc, beta or stable versions. There most probably will be some minor bugs, but the earlier we tackle them the better.
As usual, please tell me about any strange things you may encounter with this Mastodon version. We're running bleeding edge after all.
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to send me a message if you have anything in mind. :bunhdheart:

@sidereal
Yeah, I’m really sorry you had to live through all that. You deserved better.
As for why it’s so hard: that’s a very, very long answer, but the short of it is that other people’s problems look small when they’re at a distance. (If you ever want to enrage a software developer, say “Can’t you just….”) There’s a whole tangle of complex and truly difficult challenges — personal, procedural, cultural, institutional, and systemic — one has to overcome to improve teaching.
They literally took over the Capitol Building. They had bitch baby politicians literally cowering in the chambers. They went into the Speaker of the House’s office, kicked their feet up, and rummaged through her papers. These people got blown the fuck out by an unarmed mob of cringe /r/TheDonald-tier boomers with MAGA hats and Kekistani flags. “We can take that place,” is what that fat fuck said, and he was right. We can take that place. We can take any place. Don’t downplay it. That’s way more than antifa ever accomplished. Since Jan 6th I’ve walked around like I have the moral authority to kill people for annoying me but the moral restraint not to, and you know what, people started treating me way better.
As for institutional support, here’s your institutional support: the Supreme Court implemented the Bruen test, which says that if a gun law wasn’t in place around the passage of the Second Amendment, it isn’t Constitutional. Disarming Whites is a priority of jews/blacks/other marxists. That means their serial number laws, their laws about caliber and automatic vs semi-automatic, their laws about explosives and laws about how you can’t be in possession of controlled substances (drugs) while also being in possession of firearms, all that shit, that goes bye bye. Before Bruen, you could just fill out some ATF paperwork and outright buy the Anzio 20mm. Now it’s debatable if you even need to do that.
Level III plates? Go home, officer, before this escalates.
What do people exoect them to to? It's like telling disabled people to boycott Amazon, like Walmart is better.
As if the alternatives are affordable to people who have to pinch every penny.
You want people to stay off Threads & birdchan?
What's the alternative for them. It takes months or years to have a viable audience on other platforms.
Especially when mutual aid or talking about your store gets little traction.
