Additionally, I guess, as a developer, I want to be closer to upstream. The sources I did see have quite a bit of changes that I fear could lead to slow update cycles with backporting and possible conflicts of interest with the upstream project plans.
That's just speculation of course, but it is what it is.
FYI, I'm trying out a new instance: rune@mastodon.nzoss.nz
It seems like a good instance and I've already found @lightweight to be a cool person.
This is mostly inspired by the fact that the #purism instance source is somewhat obscure.
There are multiple repos on source.puri.sm that *could* be the servers source, but none of them look official and none of them have a tag for v2.8.2, which is what the server UI claims to be running.
And the webui just links to the official mastodon git...
@lunduke I've had use for it a few times. I feel kinda bad when I do, and usually check out their previous posts before I do, but sometimes you just can't argue.
For personal use it seems great, but instance wide blocks worry me. Is there a way to see what the purism instance has blocked? I know mastodon.social publishes here:

@Diffu this looks awesome!

Diffu is a Free Software allowing authors to publish all kinds of texts or articles and to aggregate the reactions they generate on social networks, especially through #ActivityPub such as #Mastodon, #PeerTube, #Pleroma, #PixelFed, #Funkwhale, #Hubzilla, #GNUSocial ...
Diffu is a kind of free and federated alternative to #Medium or other applications that are not always easy to install.

KDE has adopted non-proprietary and decentralized instant messaging services and is now running its own community-managed instance of Matrix
KDE is now officially using Matrix for collaboration within KDE! Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralised communication (which means you can follow and comment from a different instance of Matrix where you already have a presence), backed by an open standard and open source reference implementations for servers, clients, client SDKs, bridges, bots and more. It provides all the features you’d expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, presence, search, push notifications, stickers, VoIP calling and conferencing, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption (based on Signal’s double ratchet algorithm) for when you want some privacy. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10e38e7cf4ed8190091da003199908b4b6
@matt but if the captcha doesn't annoy human users endlessly, then what's the point???

I love it when people get excited about how their favourite tech and my work might combine and create new things.
I love it a bit less when they e-mail me out of the blue suggesting I rewrite all my code to use $TECH because of $BENEFITS.
I'm sure they mean well, but that's just wrong on so many levels.
If you want to help a project, help the project!
Telling people what to do just isn't helpful: the average value of unsolicited advice is negative. Politely saying no is hard, tiring work.
@Matter I would think so. I'm not sure if that blocks localhost connections, though.
@Matter you'll want to bind the docker port on localhost specifically:
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080
If you don't specify it, it's essentially binding to 0.0.0.0 giving you the undesired effect.

You should convince people of free software values, not to say the right words

My personal journey from MIT to GPL

@HerraBRE we've also been getting crazy good weather in Denmark almost every day.
What's weird is how it causes major lightning storms and heavy rain every night. It's been a crazy week.
