@nixCraft Makes you wonder how much of that history is actually necessary. I mean sure it's necessary for posterity, but how much smaller would the repo be if we only kept the last 10 years?
Something something, Ship of Theseus.

@evan I think the municipal level should be the first to have its own social media. I feel like Mayors and city councillors are the ones who typically have something to say that needs to be disseminated in a timely fashion. But I totally agree with the direction this is going in :)
Governments should not be beholden to corporations for the purposes of communicating with constituents.
@evan I signed this yesterday, BTW :)
@fraying Yeah, this sucks, but you could also just not connect your TV to the internet.
@evan Shouldn't that be `.well-known`?
@codinghorror @Toxic_Flange You know, it wasn't that bad. Suspension of disbelief is a helluva drug.
@thomasfuchs No, it really can't. Part of the appeal of these open source social networks is that they don't depend on any third parties for anything.
@thomasfuchs It's a little more than that because we all already had Instagram accounts. Of course sign-up was easy when we all had already signed up.
Just looking at https://fedidb.org/ this morning, and there's been a major drop in the number of instances and users. Is this due to cleanup of spam accounts? The totals on the top still seem to indicate growth.
Users from May --> June are *down* 3,302,812
Instances from May --> June are *down* 6,046
These seem like very large numbers to me.
Is this a glitch in the graphs, or is this accurate @FediDB @dansup ?
@atomicpoet@calckey.social It was legitimately amazing while it lasted.
@thomasfuchs I think I'm remembering now...720k was the "non-HD" 3.5" disk capacity, wasn't it? It's like I have to bring these facts back from archived storage.
@thomasfuchs Man, you just have to punch the read/write notch in the other side, and then you have like 720k. My brother and I did this so many times we broke several regular paper hole punches. We ended up buying a specific device for making the square notches in 5 1/4 floppy disks.
@codinghorror @thomasfuchs Unless you're prepared to stop people from linking to a public mastodon post, then the issue isn't whether or not to allow it, because it's already happening. The issue is whether or not there should be a better user experience around it than there is currently. And that's a no-brainer.
@dansup If @pixelfed is just a side project, then what is your primary project?
@dansup Sometimes code names are a pain because now nobody can talk about that city in Spain anymore.
@PerryM Ha! Thanks to password managers, all my passwords are 24 - 36 characters long and use all the combinations. Perhaps that's overkill.
@atomicpoet Are groups like #calckey 's channels? Because I think this was the differentiation point I was missing to see the difference between #groups and #hashtags.
@atomicpoet Doesn't each Mastodon server have a cached version of every profile it has seen? In @elk at least, there are two options: "Copy link to this post" and "Copy original link to this post".
@dansup What was ripped off the wall behind you?
@atomicpoet What even are the "user backfilling" and "deep threads" features that your comparison chart talks about?
