starting to get it now. twitter is kinda like Fox news while mastodon is more like pbs, paid for by tooters like you 🫵
@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!

@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
