@somegirlprivacy@fosstodon.org That's how the Librem.one instance works. Matrix and/or Email address of the same name as the Fediverse profile. DMs are totally disabled here. It's good because you choose your own comms options and keeps the Fedi simple. The Fedi has bigger fish to fry than reinventing email in my opinion.

@donncha Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I need to read that and troubleshoot mine some more. @adamz shows up, but following doesn't get accepted it seems.

My first time I tried that, I messed up the Virtual switch, lost SSH connection, and reverted to a backup. I need to learn that KVM stuff!

I get that on Twitter a lot. My favorite phrase is, "I'd love to have an intelligent conversation about this, but it sounds like you didn't read my arguments."

@_astronoMay The instance I'm on has DMs removed completely (they forked the code), and I love it!

@perigee@toot.party @sean Same here. I need to find time to troubleshoot to try to narrow down the issue for a more-informative Github post. Maybe it's because I'm using an IIS server.

In 2017 I wrote a Wired column about "antiviral design" in social media ...

... or, niche/small blogging/posting sites that were designed to *inhibit* viral waves of attention: wired.com/story/this-stripped-

The opposite of how Twitter works

I wasn't yet back then aware of Mastodon!

But the more I've used it, the more I've noticed that Mastodon has similarly antiviral properties

It isn't designed to foster massive joint attention on viral posts

This unsettles a certain class of Twitter émigré

For those who want to set up your own instance - this is a good link - stuxhost.com/knowledgebase/14/ - but you install Debian and then yunohost and then let it install mastodon - the nice thing is that it tells you all the DNS params you need. Very turn key. Probably took me about an hour to do it (well, you still have to deal with DNS propagation)

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

@sean I've been trying to get that Wordpress plug in to work for some years now! If they ever iron out the bugs on that and put a management interface into the dashboard, that would be great!

As long as the server software is open source, the Fediverse will probably be sustainable.. just like websites, email.. even IRC, FTP, NNTP, & Gopher.

Mastodon and Twitter can coexist. Mastodon is for smart content, Twitter is for watching Elon Musk own himself.

@mothdust Yes, something to signify a joking, sad, frustrated, sarcastic, or inquisitive tone makes sense. [agreeable emoji] [smiley emoji]

@mothdust Oh! I hate the emoji language! I get that language is fluid, but.. there has to be a smarter way.
