@mikebaz He was really great.
@philnickinson Same. Also don't forget the RED Hydrogren disaster of a phone from someone who really thought he could do phones.
@rysiek If all servers used TLS enforced by DANE would that mitigate most of the metadata leak potential? Except the IPs of both ends, right? Does Matrix or XMPP federate without exposing IP addresses?
I hate it when I see #UX #Designers imply that good design caters only to the majority and ignores the minorities. Good #design should be #inclusive and accommodating to #diversity.
@andrewstroehlein Here are some orgs with their own servers: https://social.sfconservancy.org/users/conservancy

@andrewstroehlein I think it depends on how professional you want the org to look. For example, would you run a business using email accounts with AOL.com or Gmail.com domain names? Using your actual domain for social network, email, and WWW gives the org a lot more validity.
@Gilgongo @PavelASamsonov So we shouldn't have those image description fields in Mastodon for the tiny percentage of blind people then? I kind of want to support minorities even if it's annoying.

@SomeGadgetGuy Yeah, up until a month ago it was a very different vibe.
@SomeGadgetGuy I'm excited that this network of social networks run by society itself is gaining steam. Most people are really nice here too.
@SomeGadgetGuy Yay, welcome to the Fediverse!

It turns out that his employees at SpaceX were "managing" him and preventing his dumber ideas from being implemented.
I think what we're seeing at Twitter is what happens when he doesn't have employees managing him.
✨ Community CDN
An opt-in service to offload remote/federated media hosting to a trusted community CDN operated by us.
You'll still have to store local media, but instead of storing remote/federated media, you can use the CDN to keep your hosting costs down.
Shipping to select instances next month, and available to all next year! #pixelfed #communityCDN
@thelinuxEXP @stuarthoughton @gabriel I don't see him doing anything at all. Most of what he says is just to trick investors or scam the government and many people are starting to realize that. Here's a good collection: https://elonmusk.today/

Fedilab and Twidere are pretty good.
Now that we're starting to see more impersonation accounts on Mastodon, a reminder that verified websites are a thing. It's not perfect, but implementable at the individual level, and this is how we know for example which of these is the real @stephenfry - and it's not the one with the meaningless checkmark. :)
