Hive is adding ~500k users daily, passing the 1 million user mark on Monday and then 2 million users earlier today. They're supported only by the 24-year-old founder, two employees, and zero moderators.

It's completely irresponsible for them to have unlimited signups when they can't possibly handle abuse, harassment, scams, spam, disinformation, or illegal content. https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-competitor-hive-social-run-by-24-year-old-founder-2022-11

#Debirdify is great away to find #Mastodon accounts for those one follows on #Twitter: https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/
"We searched 3200 Twitter accounts and found 391 accounts with 397 Fediverse IDs, spread over 99 instances. (see below for CSV export)" #birdsite #twittermigration

I wrote a little Mastodon/Fediverse guide, using simple, non-technical terms, so that non-technical people can learn

This was my covid #Project, the keaboard by keawade https://github.com/keawade/keaboard

It's a columnular stagger split #MechanicalKeyboard with hot-swappable MX sockets and wireless capability. I've been using this as my daily driver for the last two years and I love it.

I designed it with #KiCad , got it printed by JLCPCB, and assembled it myself. I'm really proud of it.

It was a lot of fun to design and build and I learned a ton along the way. #Maker

2900 people have joined the iOS #pixelfedApp beta so far!

It's kinda overwhelming to witness the rapid growth in #pixelfed, thanks to the #twitterMigration

Pixelfed is largely a 1 man team, we don't have the amount of contributors that most other fediverse projects have so there is a lot of pressure and I'm doing my best. ❤️

For those who have downloaded their #Twitter archive data, you might want to check out this Twitter Archive parser by @timhutton:

https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

This converts your Tweet archive to #markdown and HTML, and replaces t.co URLs (which will break once Twitter goes away) with their original versions.

Afterwards, it asks if you want to try downloading the original size images.

Just ran this myself without any major issues, really easy to use as well.

Maurice Karnaugh of Karnaugh Map fame, died 11 days ago. I'm always amazed when a name like this shows up as it reminds me how young our field is. Though, he was 98!

I prototyped this months ago, and now finally did the re-spin into a better package without the mess of wires.

I'm really good at making typos so I revisited the text-completion support in #phosh's osk-stub and added a completer based on the #presage library and trained it with a German text from @gutenberg_org and was surprised how well that works. 1/2

Thanks to the patience and help in the #purism community chat https://matrix.to/#/#community-librem-5:talk.puri.sm I finally cobbled together a #fedora minimal #rawhide build that boots on the #librem5 next step is getting wifi to work so I can install #phosh :D
