It's tough, especially since I have a bad habit of buying a domain when I have an idea.
I bought Texans.social because I wanted to start a Texas centered instance on the Fediverse... I could easily start a Mastodon server or something else and get it running in less than two hours...
I still haven't.
C.W. Smith
I have 23 domain names.
...
Some of them are the same name but with different TLD extensions, but not many. It's a very large amount.
I need to either make use of them or get rid of them.
I want to write longer Formated articles in Drupal eventually and will probably use my domains, but I want some efficiency on that part as well.
Thoughts thoughts thoughts.

It's taken centuries for Banking to get to this point. Plus if it weren't for our current structure remote payments for goods and services wouldn't have anything to build on.
Hell, taking gold and giving back an equal amount minus a small fee was the initial work of the Knights Templar.
After centuries of work like that, they got turned on by the King of France and the Pope becauce the king didn't want to take a loan out for his next war.

It's a limitation on micro-blogging really. Even at 500 characters it's difficult to get something complex across the divide without sometimes threading a few posts together.

Still kind fighting to get the main Mastodon frontend working. SO far it doesn't seem to stop me from using the server, just not from that spot which makes sense.
MIght just give up and switch back to regular Mastodon here in a bit. But could really use some advice since it won't build the precompile phase.

Tried to move my Mastodon serve to SOC-glitch.
Right now I can't access anything from the website. Fedilab and the listing of notifications from Nextcloud seem to work.
Had to do a distro update in place.
Thoughts?

It's definitely something I would prefer be in the Administration menus as a setting controllable by the admin then needing to modify project files.
C.W. Smith
I completely agree. It's honestly one reason I was thinking of just adding ActivityPub to WordPress or Drupal and see what happens.
I found ways to modify the character limit, but am worried that it will be undone every single upgrade.
I have thought of moving from Mastodon to pelorma, but it's very difficult to figure out it feels like.

No, this is different and is a major issue for Foss project within the EU. Been hearing about it a lot from the Linux podcast I listen to.
It basically makes it so Tech companies are liable for anything that happens on their platforms or any security breaches attributed to their software. And for Meta or even projects providing key libraries and programs for Linux this could be bad.

We need to be working on getting encrypted chat setups running where we can.

Someone remind me what the #Facebook type #ActivityPub Options were. I remember #Friendca but not others.
C.W. Smith
Has anyone thought of adding ActivityPub functionality to something like Libre.fm so we could built a music Fediverse branch?

I honestly liked the Wing Commander film and the original Super Mario Brothers with Bob Hoskins, Jon Leguazmo, and Dennis Hopper...
... But I have always been odd.
I will finish anyone who speaks bad of the original Mortal Kombat.

So, since I now have a van to work on I will be focusing on what to do for my Vanlife blogging.
I figure just setting up a wordpress blog on Wanderers-Waypoint.com will be sufficient. I can add ActivityPub support for myself and build a community there with one of the forum plugins. That being said, if I do that then it becomes opt-in for federation. The plugin requires a user to toggle the process on.
So I am open to options as well.

In a lot of ways Discoverability on Fediverse is going to be like it was back in the early days. Just linking and talking about the cool sites and communities you found with friends.
Of course you also kinda need to build the cool stuff yourself half the time.
C.W. Smith
So, here's a question for all of you.
I want to start blogging about my move into #vanlife and vehicle camping and feel blogging will help.
I have three domains:
TinyopolisTX
TinyopolisUSA
Wanderers-Waypoint
I want to include federated communities into my setup.
Should I Stick with one domain and use the Subdomains to handle add-ons? Should I try and build a community on one and blog on the other?
Thoughts?

Anti-Mastodon the Software but still big on Fedi? Or is the entire Fediverse concept getting corrupted for you?
C.W. Smith
Exactly. We got to encourage either moving to smaller niche servers or single user instances like yours and mine.
C.W. Smith
And we need smaller instances to spread things out.
