@yestergearpc Totally! I've been meaning to build my own upgraded home server for like 2 years now, but still haven't got around to it. Was thinking about this since it also has Jitsi & DeltaChat: https://selfprivacy.org/en/
@yestergearpc Did you make your own instance?! Hell Yeah!

@xboxp3 You should have made a social.xbox.com instance.
@tchambers @atomicpoet @mastodonmigration What if Spotify federated with ActivityPub? :)

@atomicpoet That is very true. Mastodon is gaining popularity throughout Asia & Africa inside many “closed” nations & it might be far larger than what we expected.
I would not be surprised if there are 50 million accounts due to people using Mastodon in China 🇨🇳, Iran 🇮🇷, Afghanistan 🇦🇫, Myanmar 🇲🇲, Sudan 🇸🇸, Mali 🇲🇱, Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, etcetera, anonymously (also potentially defederated) to avoid the watchful eyes of their restrictive governments.
Social networking should be owned by society and that's what the Fediverse is!
@jeffjarvis I've been trying since early 2019:

@whitep4nth3r@indieweb.social @mortendk Nested FONT tags still work, I believe.

Just noticed that there's a petition for UK Parliament to get its own Mastodon server. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/627914 I wonder what the HoC Library/PDS folks think of that.
@kurtsh By the way, the CW (Content Warning) button is perfect for talking about spoilers.

@jperlow You can fork the source code and name it one of those. :)
@blaine They should run instances for Government personnel though. Like the EU does: https://social.network.europa.eu/about
And Germany: https://social.bund.de/explore
@QasimRashid
The blue check is fake emoji. What you want is the green check in your profile. You get that by linking to your profile from an external website and linking to that website from your profile. The instructions are in the profile editor page.

People ask, "What can other Fediverse apps do that Mastodon can not?"
A lot!
Here's an example. Let's look at some screenshots of Pixelfed:
1. Photo filters
2. Aspect ratio cropping
3. Options to select your creative license
4. Geo-location tagging
I'd show you more but Mastodon only lets me upload 4 photos to a post while Pixelfed allows for more 😉
