@t3kk Well, did you hear that Mastodon 4 will have language translation capabilities? :) That'll be a great feature.

@t3kk Yeah, maybe this server is overloading.
@t3kk Yeah, I feel like joining smaller servers might be best. The one I'm on is run by a company that makes hardware, and I think they're really good at this. (They forked Mastodon and removed a bunch of junk like DMs, which I love.) I kind of want to learn how to make my own instance too though.
@t3kk Ah, but you didn't get the message to mastadon.org.uk? Maybe that one is overloaded?
@t3kk Hey Daron, how's it going? Are our instances communicating?
@t3kk Hey Daron, sending you a message. Do you see me as following you back yet? #TroubleShooting

There are a few button generators out there, like this one:

I posted a message to mastodon via ham radio! iPhone via Bluetooth to a Mobilinkd TNC3 modem to BaoFeng UB5R. The signal went about 4 miles to the UT Austin Amateur Radio Club's antenna on top of Physics building (KA5D) where their iGate send it to 4X5MG whose bot posted it. Pretty neat! https://botsin.space/@aprs/109316550326136608

New data about the growth of the #fediverse. The number of new accounts is now on average around 100k per day after the peak in November 8th of 135k new users.
@TechConnectify Just so you know, there's also a Fediverse server software called Peertube which is a federated alternative to YouTube.
@stux Ha! @kathygriffin is hilarious!

Back in 2010 #twitter launched their “t.co” link shortened. And I thought at the time how profoundly terrible that is. If the database and/or ability to look up t.co links ever changed, we would literally lose information. We will no longer know what URL was tweeted. It burns a huge hunk of internet history to the ground if we lose that. It was vain and shortsighted and stupid. Now in 2022, I wonder how many months we have left when we can resolve those links. And what happens to collective internet history when they’re done?
In another funny twist, what about trials or legal matters that hinge on the content of a tweet? And suddenly you can’t get the content of that tweet? Or where did that link point to?
Nobody saw this coming except for all of us who saw this coming.
@nathan Those features will be great! Awesome!
