The secretive founder of Mastodon.

@baconandcoconut @SeaGL is the talk online?

@baconandcoconut @SeaGL a better idea is to build community in the real world space and invest in social capital.

@pseudonym i have a 60 yr old toaster that still works and will out live me.

@evan we need a better way to buy and sell than Craigslist or Marketplace that is part of the Fediverse.

@skinnylatte i saw one study which said 60% of homeless were victims of child abuse. Cities are only perpetuating the abuse and criminalizing their struggles.

@eob @heatwave I have always believed that if we intend on getting a message across to someone we must speak at their level. Climate change is a critical issue and using Fahrenheit is important so that those in the US understand the message. They also happen to be the biggest contributer to CC. In an ideal world they would understand Celcius but they don't.

So it would be advantageous to also use Fahrenheit .

@RxBrad @BeAware where are you hosting your server? I am wanting to host my own but only have a shared host. Do I need a VPS or dedicated host?

@BeAware @Awakari

How do we find out what our instance admins have blocked?

@dansup will we be able yo selfhost it?

@killyourfm

This is going to be the case for lots of music and video. It will be nonexistent in future decades because streaming services won't have it available and people will have disposed of their physical media. People should retain all physical media they have as well as purchase what they find at thrift stores.

Future generations will discover the one hidden gem of a movie on DVD in grandmas attic.

@tchambers @fediversenews

I don't trust Meta on this. They will try to take control of it all.

How do we get the rest of the climate community to leave the bird site for Mastodon?

#climatechange #climate

@HistoPol @Ruth_Mottram

Thanks, I will have to watch for it.

@Ruth_Mottram

I use it just to follow the climate people. Would be nice if they were here instead.

@feditips @Ruth_Mottram @micron Yes, I know and understand. We can't expect them to do it all for free. I do appreciate that it is free of ads, trackers and data sharing. @ruud had mentioned how I can make suggestions through Github. I will make a few and then find if there are ways in which I can contribute somehow. I have done web design/developent for the past 25 years but not sure I have the skills to contribute here. Maybe have to offer my financial donations.

@Ruth_Mottram @feditips @micron

The lack of a clearly marked direct messaging feature is one of my complaints. This platform isn't as intuitive as others that have adopted some standardized UI/UX features. It does make it a bit challenging for the general user base and could limit the services ultimate growth.

@utzer @feditips @mooklepticon that's my issue with this. Unless a person follows lots of people or is on a large server they see very little.
