@romin That is what caused my issue btw. I changed the cronjob from @weekly to a randomized time on a certain day and after that it never fired once (for months).
@sendpaws@theorytoe@silverpill@caohuak >The "culture" kind of rotted with the great Keffals/LFJ op to shutdown Kiwi Farms and the userbase there used it as a bunker for a while, along with poasties, Jim being banned on Twitter for a while
Ironic considering that kfcc posters and orbiters used to be the better quality posters. Sleepy gang, FCE, Cyberia, all came from there. At some point in late 2021 something changed, so I left Fedi for a year, don't even remember what the reason fully was. Probably poasties and politics becoming prevalent (an issue to this day).
@mrsaturday@theorytoe@sendpaws@silverpill@caohuak 466 here, which is more than I follow. A good chunk is probably dead accounts from instances that are gone, but still no idea why someone would actually want to follow my half-grumpy technology ramblings with the occasional hellthread and shitpost.
> In my opinion "the culture" is not worth preserving The current one likely is not worth it. The one from 5+ years ago was, but now is too late for that.
>I nominate everybody in this thread. I meant it in "Do you know someone that should be here, but isn't yet." way. Because I genuinely struggle with that, the only one I know doesn't care about social media besides following artists (he would hate misskey.io). You can grow the network with interesting features, but at this point I'm not convinced that if you make a good alternative to walled gardens, people will naturally come. We've had that already and it didn't end well.
@snacks@kirby@VD15@graf As you can see in the screenshot, not really. autovacuum just kinda handles it good enough for half a year. It's not like fedi is an UPDATE heavy workload.
If you know of people that won't destroy the culture of the network and seek power over everyone like in the great Twitter to Mastodon exodus over 5 years ago, I would be interested. Main thing this network needs is gatekeeping that prevents takeovers of the network. It has been taken over enough as it currently is.
Mastodon got a grant to implement that (via Fires), and there is literally zero chance their user collections thing will never be used to spread blocklists of people like on bsky.
@scathach Pretty much, it is useful for embedded projects that need to be small and portable. HAM radio is great for them, but HAM radio is dead anyway. boomer-hams.png
@silverpill@icedquinn So Mitra has a similar issue as Pleroma, I see. You can't build Pleroma on anything but newest Ubuntu LTS/Debian, because Elixir and Erlang are too old on 24.04/12. Because maintainers blindly bump the minimum Elixir version to the last supported version without it being needed, or must use the shiniest new features. Only option is too use mise/asdf to install new versions in a separate environment, or use Docker.
