I wonder if we can get https://runyourown.social/ to be the next banned url on twitter
@garylerude Aww, thanks for the kind words. ☺️
@johnallsopp Welcome!!
@fokke Yay! Welcome!
Yeah, a server can be 1 person or thousands of people. The only major UX difference is the server timeline (all posts happening from users on the single server). I don’t use it.
I helped a few people make the great #TwitterMigration this past week.
I wrote a short post summarizing the steps and answering the most common questions and concerns. It might be helpful to more people than I can schedule video chats with.
We had advertising-supported media for generations - centuries - without mass surveillance. The problem with advertising isn't incentives - it's impunity.

Ok #fediverse gays: I’d like to connect my instance to a relay or two. My understanding is that the nice and safe ones are private. Who runs a nice queer-friendly nazi-free relay and would be happy to have my instance connect? Boosts appreciated :)
The internet wasn't intended to be 3 websites with enough power to turn us into doomscrolling zombies, sway public policy and lead to the collapse of democracy.

The constant is us: the communities we nurture, the culture we create. The space we cherish is just a vessel for those. It hasn't always been an easy ride, but I'm delighted that this place has been one of those cherished spaces, and proud of the role I played. ❤️🪺
Seeing Mastodon and the fediverse succeed today is deeply gratifying and hopeful for me. It's imperfect and early, but watching thousands of people birth communities that they can nurture and shape and watch grow and evolve, after so many years hoping and dreaming of this ...
@ben Aww thanks for the kind words!
@josh Thanks! Passing both along.
Is there a fediverse server specifically addressing the needs of people with disabilities?
Asking for a friend. We need to help communities found on Twitter migrate to a home in the fediverse.
I work in tech, fight for digital rights and the environment, kiss dudes, cycle, lift heavy things, and don’t eat animals. Swedish immigrant, US American emigrant. Occasionally shirtless.
