And thanks to all that already do! It helps a lot
@gpollara There are ways to to tell bird.makeup to tweak how it behave, but I have to be very specific about it, otherwise those commands are ignored. I've been screaming into the void basically 😶
@norztekh I'm working on bird.makeup on most weekends which causes some tweets to be lost when redeploying. Can you ping me if this continue during the week with examples?
@m0bi13 Yeah I don’t either. I was thinking of using it for an expendable CDN-like use case.
Has anyone played with the oracle cloud free tier here? Any good or bad experiences?
@booots Yeah I've been optimizing things every weekend, but it's been a race between that and people starting using it! But I should start winning that race again soon
In 99.9% of cases I don't recommend running your own bird.makeup instance, as it increase the moderation workload across the fediverse
So I've been scratching my head for a few days optimizing bird.makeup, and it turns out I've been setting an environment variable with ParallelFediverseRequests when it should have been with ParallelFediversePosts...
Programming is sometime... yeah...

@ericdere I spent time every weekend making the service faster but people keep using it more and more which slows it down… I have many ideas I want to implement, but I won’t have time for a few days

The SEC going after Justin Sun and TRX for market manipulation is just *chef kiss*. https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-59
Researchers monitoring the Twitter bot space noted, correctly, that TRON-themed bots were unbelievably, unimaginably prolific from 2018 onwards. We spent a massive amount of time building detections to shut it down — and it would just keep coming back. Major portions of all spam globally on Twitter, for months at a time, was just dedicated to hyping Sun and TRX.

@1 Not sure, I know it works from mastodon, pleroma and misskey, but I know it has problems with Pixelfed. I don’t know about akkoma
@chriswheatley@mastodonapp.uk @paul try to follow any of them back and if you can’t, your server has blocked bird.makeup
@drewdevault@fosstodon.org private repos being for paid accounts only is not a bad model!

It is funny to see some very large accounts that have been consistently anti-crypto, move seamlessly into fudding ChatGPT.
Clearly there is a spectrum of human responses in terms of openness to novelty.
The same ofc applies to us. We are more open than average to new ideas.
