Since I'll be shutting down #AllThingsTech my goal is to find a server that's not large like Mastodon.social or anything similar, an instance that is run by a great admin and great moderators, has a post character limit of at least 1,500 characters and hopefully poll option limits of 8 - 10 or more.

If you know any instance that fits those requirements, please let me know. I'm open for suggestions from all of you as I'd love to find the best place to call home.

@jwildeboer Very well said and I totally agree.

I just hate seeing people post about and focus on the numbers and making that their number one claim as to why it's now a dead platform and is continuing to die each and every day.

I see Mastodon is going down that Google+ rabbit hole of "it's dead here" "it's too quiet" "there's nobody here" "the numbers are falling off".

It's truly sad to see. While yes, the counts might be down, but there are still hundreds of thousands of users here, and if you follow the right people/accounts, your timeline/feed won't be "dead" or "quiet" as you are claiming it is.

It's just really sad to see that kind of negativity get spread across the #Fediverse

@binarydigit Glad to hear you had a great time with friends and family. Always important to have those times. Safe travels on the way back home!

Masty the Mastodon has arrived!

I'm so excited to finally have this.

I see they are making yet another Superman movie.

I was a Superman fan when I was a little kid. Now, I can't stand anything that is MC/MCU/DC/Comics or anything similar and personally, I think they are just running this stuff into the ground at this point.

How many damn Superman movies does one need and how many damn Superman movies do they feel they need to make? That series was boring LONG AGO!

The Mastodon plushie is now available to anyone in the USA if you are interested!

Sad to see @mammoth closing up shop and even more sad to see the folks of moth.social having to find new instances to call home.

For anyone on moth.social that is in need of a new home here on Mastodon, @AllThingsTech has plenty of room and would love to have you join us!

We are a warm and welcoming community with some awesome users! If you need help migrating over to #AllThingsTech please let us know. We'd love to help!

@dansup @ernmander How do we know what our user number is and if we're in the first 100 or not?

@ernmander Interesting. I really have no idea at all what number I would be. I highly doubt I'm in the first 100, and most likely not even in the first 500 or even 1,000. But who really knows.

📷 New Post From Cliff's Pixelfed 📷

Three more photos from last night's visit to downtown Winston Salem.

This is really just a test post to test a fix Dan put into place for something.

@dansup Looks like it has worked as you can see here on this post and even to Bluesky.

Thank you so much for taking care of this so quickly this morning! You truly are awesome and amazing!

@dansup Yay! Thank you so much. I seriously do appreciate it.

Because of the bug, I actually try to avoid posting multiple photos to Pixelfed, but would love to not do that for obvious reasons.

Again, thank you for all you do!

@robb

@dansup I believe Robb explained the bug to me as the RSS feed only lists one photo(first photo that's shown on Pixelfed) and doesn't even list that the post has any other photos, which is why when it's shared to other platforms with something like EchoFeed or anything similar, it will only ever show one photo.

I feel like this effects tons of users who use services like EchoFeed and others to post their Pixelfed posts to other places.

@robb

@dansup Is there any ETA as to when the bug with the RSS feed will be fixed?

As you can see in this post on Pixelfed, there are two photos:

https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/771308460213998835

But as you can see on the post that's shared by EchoFeed by @robb only shows one photo instead of multiple photos.

https://allthingstech.social/@cliffwade/113616564448682369

This has been around for a LONG time and is a pretty annoying bug since people don't get to see all of the photos that are actually posted.

@ATLeagle I agree with all of this. But that doesn't mean we as society and fellow humans should go around making statements such as "I hope someone kills that CEO in cold blood" or "I hope he gets murdered".

Also, it's not just HIM that is responsible. It's a LOT of folks within the company and even outside of the company. There's better ways to get justice than by praising murder.

Blows my mind that people are thankful that someone like a CEO of a company is dead, or wishing death upon CEO's.

These folks are just like us in the fact that they are humans, have families and so much more.

How can someone be thankful that humans are murdering humans?

Is this really what our world is becoming?

Turkey has been injected and is now placed into the infrared(oilless) deep fryer where it will remain for nearly 3 hours.

This little guy will look and taste absolutely amazing after that time.

That's the way it's done!

The Houston Texans could have lost every single game of the season except this one against the Cowgirls and I would have been happy.

So glad to see them beat this team since I dislike the Cowgirls more than any other team in the entire NFL.
