there’s a layer to conway’s law that cannot be measured: trust

the quality of relationships affect the quality of systems we build

#TIL today is the 9th year anniversary of the Mastodon’s first post

let's not buy a new domain today

If someone boosts your post on the fedi it almost always means they agree with you, so much that they want others to see your post.

To me that’s a possible indication of someone whom I want to follow as they most likely align with my ideas/values/ethics

So I recently adopted an algorithm for following folks

Boost = Follow

Additionally I also started actively organizing my lists, so accounts are categorized.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but…

Federation != Decentralization

If you want proof look at bsky implementation

Mastodon is both federated and decentralized. A community can form in the middle of nowhere without the need to connect to Mastodon.social

That’s not the case in bsky?

@aral @cheeaun that sounds like a fun bug to not fix 😄

@aral @cheeaun Thanks Aral, I will play around!

In mastodon when one server goes down, users outside that server can still interact with users & posts within. All notifications will just get broadcasted again when the down server goes back.

The fediverse (activitypub) is crazy mature, and all other ones are still trying to figure it out.

Received a gift. Is this as cool as it looks? I still need to search what it’s for.

@thomasfuchs where do I buy this headset 💸

“…just because you *know* something needs JavaScript, doesn't mean it still does. You can make better websites if you test those assumptions every now and then.”

This is so true, and the reason why it is healthy to check back on vanilla web tech from time to time.

The skills you develop in mastering vanilla web tech are directly transferable to any project.

My answer is VS code with an extension for Vim motions.

@gnutelephony Of course it’s a vim user who votes first 🤣

We have a new Experimental Feature on @elk Canary (https://main.elk.zone) -- Don't forget to turn it on and provide feedback! 🙏

Sharing PeerTube, SoundCloud, YouTube, and even links to Mastodon posts with media attachment will bring up an Embedded Media Player so you can just watch/listen on your timeline. :)
