Those of you who use a cross posting service with Birdsite, which one do you use and why?

Mastodon admins:

How large is the current database storage of your instance?

(Retoots welcomed; I'm thinking about options for a small instance implementation...)

So far my biggest gripe about Tusky and it's forks are that I can only have 5 tabs at a time. What's with this restriction? It seems arbitrary. How am I supposed to keep lists of topics and ppl? Maybe the official Mastodon app is different 🤔

I'm still a pretty basic user, but I would like to see how well I could replace VSCode with Nvim ultimately. VSCode is just straight murder on a battery. If you're a or user tips and tricks appreciated!!

Fiddling around with Neovim again today.

Because why work on your side projects when you could work on the tooling _underneath_ your side projects.

FYI for newbies 

Not many ppl on the fediverse talking about it looks like. I'll have to start sharing about them here as well as on the musksite

I'm interested in moving from mastodon.social to an instance where I am a paying customer; it would be especially awesome if the vendor also provided other hosted libre tools for paying customers, such as an Owncloud/Nextcloud or Jitsi/BigBlueButton instance. I welcome your recommendations & I welcome boosts.

One thing I'm really missing here on the fediverse is all the sports accounts. Still gotta get my fancy stats fix from the Birdsite

I don’t know who needs to hear this but “free speech” isn’t what some billionaire says you’re allowed to say on his private property.

:boost_ok: :ablobcatwave: Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse. :ablobcatbongo:

In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.

If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!

The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation

You can see some of their work here https://www.eff.org/work

In the meantime, you can follow @eff, which is an unofficial mirror of their Twitter.

Leighton Vander Esch has quietly had a good second half of the season

What Fediverse client does everyone is for Android? I'm a heavy list user in Twitter but can't seem to get lists working correctly in Librem Social so it's time to go app "shopping", let me know what your suggestions are Fediverse

How does one put together a portfolio of work if your work is all for closed source clients?

Duhhhh it just dawned on me I could follow any account on ActivityPub here 🤦‍♂️

@tbernard loved your blog post about Linux as a platform! Looking forward to the second part. Is there a direct link to the talk that inspired it?
