If a person says they want to see Mastodon scale to support 100 million users, a lot of Mastodon users will jump on that person's neck. 🤷🏿♂️ They'll be accused of having "VC brain", or being obsessed with hyper growth.
It's not about hyper growth for growth's sake. If you truly believe that Twitter is bad(tm) and Mastodon is good(tm), and that people should leave Twitter, then where exactly do you think those people should go? There's hundreds of millions of them.
@khalidabuhakmeh why would you want to do something like that?
@k your instance admin probably banned it

i'm so sorry for being that guy but i can't overstate how reminiscent current twitter is of Portal 2 when the entire facility starts to break down because wheatley got so insecure about being called a moron he starts cobbling together abominations that don't work out of spite

@agx You can use my side project https://bird.makeup/ to follow twitter users from here if you want. Then you'll have no need for that web UI!
Maybe I'll be able to do QT as literal quotes with the rich text support that's coming to Mastodon. Interesting!
@adachika192 banning the domain is okay. Plenty of servers do and I find it reasonable. 1) Twitter sells data to anyone who wants them. You don’t own your tweets. People should delete their Twitter account if they are not comfortable with that 2) I already do (see picture and pardon the french). All accounts announce themselves as not. Agree that mastodon apps should display bots better 3) Except the previous point, why?

Time for a “CopyLeft AI Data License” - if this data is used to train an AI model, then the model must open its source code and its weights.
Thinking of moving servers to https://hachyderm.io ...
Although I'm generally pro-crypto even if I don't talk about it much here, and I wonder if it's going to get me banned if I move there

Hello Fediverse. Goodbye walled gardens.

Imagine we could iterate on human buildings like this. Just have the idea, sketch it on the computer, watch robots snap together your new living room.
@BattlingBeaver they stop being replicated, but they are not deleted if they are already on Mastodon servers no... I want to do something that does it but it's quite hard
Patreon finally allowed me to create a tier below 5$, yay!
@pelikans talk to your admins or move servers, there is nothing I can do on my end unfortunately
Re: Mammoth raising venture capital
That is definitely not the way I want to go with bird.makeup. The end game for me would be to have enough Patreon supporters so that I could have a nice lifestyle business making open source tools for the Fediverse. I have no interest at the growth at all cost mindset.
