@evan I’m definitely not arguing you’re wrong (Your poll, your rules). Ur I really don’t consider YouTube a social network.
Now I’m curious if I can put a finger on why that is, it’s not immediately clear to me.

Has anyone come up with a strategy for load testing a Mastodon instance? I’d love to run some tests around how much traffic my setup can handle *before* it breaks organically.
@OliverNoble @thomasfuchs My understanding (not saying that makes it “correct”) is that it’s a cultural norm that president is a title you carry for life. Once you’ve been president, you forever hold that title.
@davidgerard I can’t agree with the assertion that running your own server is particularly hard nor expensive. It’s about par for the course. Definitely something that can be done if you’re into that kind of thing.
@thomasfuchs I’m getting increasingly convinced nobody at either Apple nor Microsoft actually use their OS’es in multi-user environments at all anymore.
@factolvictor I’ve used Ivory since it was in beta. Personally I’m very happy with the experience.
On the other hand, I’ve never used a Mastodon app other than Ivory, so I also can’t speak to how it compares.
@rysiek When I worked at Google in 2018 this question was explicitly asked and answered (at least they had the decency to answer back then) at a meeting I attended: The answer is offset, not literally powered by carbon neutral energy.
@forteller Do not wash in direct sunlight 🤣
Reality truly is the biggest joke of them all…
@karafuto @rysiek Now we just need to make dodgecoin a real coin, the value of which is pegged to the total amount of crypto currencies in circulation.
Less crypto = higher value of dodgecoin.
It’s going to be great! /s
@thomasfuchs A half-abandoned Mastodon branch, with an annual R&D spend of nearly 10 million dollars.
Imagine the kind of development that could be made if any team serious about the Fediverse got that money instead.
@conservancy Are you looking for individual volunteers to help out as well?
@thomasfuchs How is “fingers crossed we can wash our car without destroying it" something people can say in all seriousness?
@liztai I’m definitely not arguing that a ban is the right move. But simultaneously: Job loss cannot itself be a reason not to do something.
If we stop mining coal, miners might be out of a job. But the preservation of those jobs is not worth the continued destruction of the climate.
@FinchHaven @evan I can’t speak for Evan, but that’s not how I interpret the question.
Mastodon primarily operates on the Note object type of Activity Streams. I would imagine in this Fediverse of Things scenario, devices would send out other object types, like Temp readings.
In turn allowing any other software to implement receiving of those particular activities. Creating a scenario where sensors and business logic is independent and interoperable.
@thomasfuchs Any idea what that’s called? I figured it might be a 26 segment display since the basic version is a 7 segment display, but I’m not finding anything.
@mariyadelano @liztai Please, make it stop 😂
@evan Point taken. The question itself isn’t wild, but prioritizing it as the *one* you ask might be.
@evan It’s on the immigration test. Doesn’t strike me as wild to ask potential presidents the same questions as potential citizens to gauge their competence.
@freemo Sorry if I’m being blind, where are these instructions accessible?
@evan More small, importantly not more by instance count, but more by a higher proportion of people use small fedi.
IMO that’s the way to ensure the balance of power doesn’t tip in favor of large actors.
